Chapter 218: Returning Home
In the car, watching the rain hang all over the windows, it was blurry at the beginning and gradually cleared later. Like a flower blooming on the other side of the river, there are a few points of clarity in the haze, symbolizing life and depicting death. Countless people walked past it, and at a glance it was determined that it was a fruit that could not be obtained no matter what. Although the flower has no fruit, time will give it after all. It's just that the meaning of this is only understood by flowers, and people passing by just like that.
The autumn rain evaporated like the autumn rain under the blazing sun in the afternoon, the stone was not depressed because of the autumn rain's departure, perhaps in his young heart, he did not have any concept of ghosts, of course, this is also what Fang Fan wanted, no matter how beautiful the process was, but it was also extremely cruel to the young heart of the stone. Fang Fan decided to bury this fact in the deepest part of his heart forever, put it together with the nightmare, and gradually faded into the harmless story of humans and animals over time.
Hu Lai also kept his promise to treat the stone as his own, and in addition to pampering, there was also strict discipline, and he did not want the stone to follow his old path. For this, the entire Spring Bar raised their hands in agreement. Seeing that Fang Fan was so good to the stone, Yue Han was inevitably a little disappointed in his heart, after all, he hadn't seen Nian Yi for a long time.
"Fang Fan, I want to go back to Cloud Town to see Nian Yi and his parents."
Fang Fan pondered for a moment and said.
"Okay, go back and rest."
No matter when, no matter where it is, Zhang Ze's figure will always be indispensable, and he doesn't know what this guy's ears are made of, Fang Fan and Yuehan's words were clearly heard by him.
"Where are you going? Take me one. ”
Fang Fan scolded with a smile.
"Are your ears specially made? You can hear that, too. You can go if you want, but you have to bring Wanli with you. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Ze asked with a sad face.
"Why? Let's just go together, Wanli still has her business to do. ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Ze suddenly flew out, and Wanli behind him looked at him with a cold expression and asked.
"What did you just say?"
Zhang Ze stood up from the ground and said.
"No, I didn't say anything. I'm quietly planning our trip. ”
Fang Fan and Yuhan both looked at Zhang Ze with disdain, he looked like a lackey of a foreigner at the end of the Manchu Dynasty at this time. Zhang Ze leaned to Wanli's side and asked.
"Honey, where do you want to go? I'll take you there. ”
", as long as there's no place for you."
The two walked away into the distance, and it seemed that Zhang Ze couldn't coax Wanli for a few hours. Fang Fan and Yue Han were both laughing, and at this time, Lin Yu came over and said to Fang Fan.
"Fang Fan, I have something to ask you."
Fang Fan was suspicious for a while, Lin Yu had always asked for help from Jinqiu when he had something, why did he come to him for help today? Fang Fan asked.
"Whatever you ask for, just say whatever you want."
Lin Yu nodded and said.
"I just heard you chatting, you seem to be planning to go back to your hometown, so can I go back with you?"
"Do you know anyone there?"
"Not really, but I've heard that your father is a great man and knows a lot, so I want to ask him about Shingon Sangha. Maybe you'll know about my background. ”
Fang Fan subconsciously greeted Zhang Ze in his heart, it must have been Zhang Ze who told Lin Yu that Fang Fan's father knew everything, so Lin Yu came to ask Fang Fan for help. Fang Fan pondered for a moment and said.
"It's okay to take you there, but I can't guarantee that my dad will know."
"Thank you, Fang Fan."
Jin Qiu floated behind Fang Fan like a ghost and asked in a low voice.
"Where are you going?"
Fang Fan suddenly shuddered all over his body, and then turned around to see Jin Qiu looking at him with a gloomy face.
"Neurotic? I almost scared you to death. ”
Jinqiu rolled his eyes and said.
"Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Are you planning to elope behind my back? ”
"Phew, don't talk nonsense here. We're just going back to our hometown. ”
As soon as the words fell, Jinqiu shouted at the top of his voice.
"Thank you, we're packing up and we're going on a trip."
Fang Fan pulled down three black lines on his head, then patted Jin Qiu on the back and said.
"When did I say I'm going to take you with me?"
Who knew that as soon as these words came out, Jin Qiu suddenly looked aggrieved and said.
"So love is gone, right?"
Fang Fan's expression was like that of an old man looking at his mobile phone in the subway, full of disgust and disbelief. He couldn't think about how Jinqiu, who was so serious before, suddenly became a scoundrel like Zhang Ze, and it seemed that he couldn't let him contact Zhang Ze too often in the future.
"Okay, okay, don't answer me here, if you want to go, hurry up and pack your things, and set off tomorrow."
Jin Qiu immediately ran to clean up his things with a hippie smile, Fang Fan looked at his back like a nervous disorder, and then looked at Yuehan. Yuehan said with a smile.
"It's so crowded."
At dawn the next day, Fang Fan and the others wanted to set off from Luoyun Town, and along the way, Zhang Ze and several women had been chatting, and it felt like long-lost sisters. Jinqiu and Lin Yu didn't talk much, one closed his eyes and recuperated, and the other quietly looked out of the car window. Fang Fan drove the car and squinted at Lin Yu in a daze, and then handed him a cigarette. Lin Yu declined.
"I won't."
"How? Are you still used to this mess after being exposed to it? ”
Fang Fan fumbled with the lighter on his body as he spoke, and he was like a big car driver who had been running for many years. Lin Yu moved his gaze out of the window again, and then said lightly.
"It's okay. I've heard about ghosts before, but when I see it, it still has a lot of impact. ”
Fang Fan finally found a lighter under a pile of bills on the dashboard, clicked a few times before lighting it, and then took a deep puff of cigarette and said contentedly.
"Actually, there's nothing to be afraid of, we all came step by step like that. Zhang Ze didn't mention how brave he was before. The first time we went to the villa to solve the case, a fake human head almost scared his soul away. ”
Lin Yu smiled faintly and said.
"I'm not afraid, I just feel that these things are dirty, and I really want to purify them."
Hearing this, Fang Fan muttered in a low voice.
"Is this what makes Shingon Monk unique?"
"What did you say?"
"Nothing..."
Jinqiu asked suddenly.
"How long are we left?"
"It's going to take about four or five hours."
"Pull it down, I'll go to the toilet first."
Fang Fan and they drove all the way from the urban area to Luoyun Town, not taking the highway, but taking the provincial road. The reason is that they don't want to be in a hurry, since it is a tour, it is the most beautiful to walk and play and enjoy the tranquility brought by the natural scenery, but I didn't expect to be delayed a little too long along the way, and I only walked a third of the way near noon.
At this time, they were deep in the mountains, Fang Fan parked the car on the side of the road, and Jinqiu got out of the car to go for convenience. Yuehan and a few of their girls got out of the car to find a beautiful scenery as the background, and then used the camera to output it wildly. Zhang Ze was arrested to act as a temporary photographer, it is estimated that the effect of the photo is not ideal, and he is being harshly lectured by Wanli at this time.
Lin Yu looked at the mountain in the fog in the distance, took a deep breath and exhaled a long breath, and his limbs also stretched out with this refreshing fresh air. For a moment, Lin Yu hoped that he could stay here with his beloved for the rest of his life and not go anywhere, and he didn't have to worry about anything.
"What do you think?"
Lin Yu turned around and saw that the bone girl was looking at him, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she looked extremely well-behaved behind her hands. Lin Yu hugged the shoulder of the bone girl and said softly.
"Didn't think about anything."
"I don't believe it, aren't you thinking about other young ladies?"
Lin Yu smiled and said.
"That's right. I'm thinking of the most pleasing young lady in the world, and God is very kind to me, and it puts this young lady next to me. ”
The bone girl smiled and pinched Lin Yu's arm and said.
"When did you learn to be so oily?"
Lin Yu subconsciously glanced at Zhang Ze, who was dancing, and he smiled at the bone girl. After a moment of silence, he said.
"This time, I want to find out about the Shingon monk, and maybe I can learn some truth about my background. If my background..."
Before Lin Yu finished speaking, the bone girl raised her hand to block his mouth and said.
"Those rotten pasts will not affect us now, no matter what happened in the past, you are still Lin Yu, even if your identity becomes a Shingon Monk, you are still Lin Yu. Only you are Lin Yu, this will not change anything. ”
After that, the bone girl snuggled in Lin Yu's arms. At this moment, there was a sudden sound of breaking the air, like the sound of an air cannon. Everyone's attention was drawn to the voice.
"Old Fang, what's going on?"
Fang Fan remembered that the direction in which the voice came out was the direction that Jinqiu had just gone to, the strange sound at this time, could it be that something happened to Jinqiu?
"Everyone get in the car, Zhang Ze and I will go and have a look."
After that, Fang Fan and Zhang Ze followed the direction of Jinqiu to find it.
"Jinqiu can make such a big noise when he goes to the toilet?"
"Don't talk nonsense, I can't tell what it is, I don't want the voice just now to be from Jinqiu."
The two walked farther and farther, and after a while they saw Jinqiu fainting on an empty grass, Zhang Ze took out a portable water bottle and splashed it on Jinqiu's face, he immediately woke up, and looked at Fang Fan and Zhang Ze in a panic. Fang Fan asked.
"Jinqiu, what's wrong? What happened? ”
After Jinqiu saw that it was Fang Fan and Zhang Ze, he calmed down a little and said.
"I just heard a strange noise in the woods, so I chased after it. When I was about to go back to look for you, the ground suddenly burst like a balloon. ”
After that, Fang Fan and Zhang Ze looked at the small pit on the ground, although it was not deep, the radius was very large. Zhang Ze said after checking it again.
"Nothing, no device to cause the explosion could be found."
Fang Fan pondered for a moment after hearing this, and asked.
"How did you pass out?"
I seemed to have fainted after being hit on the head by a stone, Fang Fan checked Jinqiu's head and found that he did have a big bag on his head, and he also found the stone nearby. It's just that this stone is a little different, it is not an ordinary stone, there is a line of words written crookedly on it, and Fang Fan looked left and right several times and didn't recognize what the words were. Zhang Ze looked at it and said.
"Take it back and let Lin Yu take a look."
The three of them turned and walked back, and just as they were leaving, the grass shook a few more times before regaining calm.
After returning to the car, Zhang Ze showed the stone to Lin Yu, and after a while, he said.
"This means 'the chosen one.'"
Zhang Ze asked rhetorically.
"The Chosen One? Who is it? ”
"I don't know."
Several people were discussing with each other, Fang Fan started the car and continued to walk towards Luoyun Town, he felt a trace of danger at this time, but he couldn't say anything. One is that you can't startle the snake, and the other is that it will make the people around you nervous.
"It's not early, we won't stop next, we have to rush to Luoyun Town before dark."
As soon as the words fell, there was a whining sound in the car, Zhang Ze felt unhappy, Fang Fan really doubted what this kid's heart was made of, it could be so big. A few hours later, the car finally stopped at the entrance of Luoyun Town. Fang Haotian and his wife were waiting for them at the entrance of the town early in the morning, and Nian Yi and Bai'er were already impatient to wait. The moment they saw the car coming in, the two children danced happily. As soon as he got out of the car, Yuehan ran over to Nian Yi and said.
"Missed Mom?"
Nian Yi nodded sensibly and said.
"I think about it, I can be obedient every day, go to school hard, and help my grandparents work."
Yuehan kissed Nianyi on the forehead, and then she looked at Bai'er next to Nianyi. Bai'er and Yuehan's relationship is average, he looked for Zhang Ze's figure in the crowd, and when he saw Zhang Ze carrying a large bag, he ran towards him quickly, and then jumped up and lay on his back.
"Oops."
Zhang Ze stumbled and almost fell, and then said.
"I haven't seen you for a while, but you're strong again."
After a period of greetings, everyone went home with Fang Haotian and his wife. A simple dinner, a simple life, that's what all of them crave, but never really had. Fang Haotian made a brief arrangement for accommodation, and then asked Fang Fan.
"Fan'er, how many days will you stay?"
"I'll be back in about two or three days."
A hint of loss flashed in Fang Haotian's eyes, and then he said casually.
"Oh... Oh, okay. ”
Yue Han pulled Xia Fan's arm, then glared at him, and then said to Fang Haotian.
"Dad, we want to stay longer."
Hearing this, Fang Haotian said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, no problem. It's been a long time since the house has been so lively, so I'm going to ask my mother to prepare tomorrow's food. Tell me in advance what you want to eat. ”
Fang Haotian is more like an out-and-out simple farmer at this time, and he doesn't match what he did when he was young. He said as he walked out. Suddenly, someone called out to him and said.
"Uncle."
Fang Haotian turned around in response and saw a handsome man with eyes calling him. Fang Haotian looked Lin Yu up and down and asked.
"Young man, did you call me?"
Lin Yu nodded and said.
"Hello, I'm Fang Fan's friend. I have something I want to ask you. ”
Fang Haotian looked at Fang Fan, and Fang Fan nodded at him. Fang Haotian continued.
"What do you want to ask? I'm just an ordinary peasant, and I don't understand anything too advanced. ”
Lin Yu smiled and said.
"You know that."
Fang Haotian looked at Lin Yu suspiciously and said.
"Don't sell it, what the hell is going on?"
"Do you know the Shingon monk?"
Hearing this, Fang Haotian took the reading glasses on his chest and looked at Lin Yu again, then gasped and pointed at Lin Yu and said.
"You go, you hurry up, you are not welcome in our family."
Everyone was taken aback by Fang Haotian's sudden change of attitude, and the bone girl immediately ran to Lin Yu's side, holding Lin Yu's arm and looking at Fang Haotian, who was a little out of control at this time. Lin Yu was even more surprised, he didn't expect Fang Haotian to have such a strong reaction, Lin Yu, who was already suspicious of himself, and after his fuss like this, Lin Yu was even more sure that he was no different from a broom star at this time.
There is such an idea because when Lin Yu's adoptive father was killed by a cobbler, he told Lin Yu that he was not their biological child, and Lin Yu's biological parents are still missing. From that moment on, Lin Yu felt that he was a broom star who brought misfortune to the people around him. So he was anxious to find out his life experience, not only to make his adoptive father under Jiuquan blind, but also to free himself from the pain as soon as possible.
Seeing this, Fang Fan immediately pulled his father back to the main house before the scene was completely out of control, and as soon as he entered the house, his father sat on the wooden chair and gasped for breath, as if he had just experienced a very terrifying thing. Fang Fan asked.
"Why did you just have that attitude towards Lin Yu?"
"Anyway, you just let him leave our house quickly."
"Why? If you don't tell me why, I can't drive people away. ”
Fang Haotian sighed and said.
"Is this the doom of our family?"
"Dad, what the hell are you talking about? I don't understand it anymore. ”
Fang Haotian lit the pipe and said after taking a few puffs.
"Is this kid a mantra?"
Fang Fan nodded and said.
"yes. What's wrong? ”
"What's the matter, do you know that the Shingon Monk and the Fang family's blood have been mortal enemies since ancient times, and you still brought him home."
Fang Fan asked with a blank expression.
"What do you mean by rivalry?"
Fang Haotian's eyes narrowed from a circle to a slit, and the hand of memory had already pulled him into the mire of the past, even if he had just escaped, he was swept away by the ensuing power. Fang Haotian, how long he has lived, how long has this secret been accumulated in his heart. After a moment, he said quietly.
"The blood of the Fang family is called the blood of the demons, and the reason why the nightmare is so eager for the blood of the Fang family, and those wicked people are also so eager for the blood of the Fang family, is this reason. The duty of the Shingon Sangha is to purify all things in the world of potential evil and filth. The Shingon Monk and the Fang family have fought for thousands of years, but it has been fruitless for thousands of years. In the end, due to the decline of the Shingon monks, the blood of the Fang family was preserved. Now that the Shingon Monk has reappeared, it is the struggle that continues thousands of years ago. ”
Fang Fan coughed lightly and said.
"Dad, it's not that exaggerated, is it? Are you overthinking? ”
"Shut up, you've always been like this, and you don't understand the seriousness of it. In short, this person must disappear from Luoyun Town immediately, otherwise don't blame me for uniting the entire town to drive him away, and my methods will not be too friendly at that time. ”
"Dad, my friend is not the kind of person who messes around indiscriminately..."
Fang Hao was innocently angry, he pointed at Fang Fan and said.
"You're disobedient, aren't you? If you insist on this, then you will roll with him. ”
Fang Fan's mother persuaded on the side.
"Fan'er, just listen to your father. You can interact with him as much as you like outside, but here in Luoyun Town, everyone has the blood of the Fang family, and you can't abandon everyone just because you're alone. ”
Before he could finish speaking, the door was pushed open from the outside. Fang Fan turned his head to look and saw Lin Yu standing at the door, his eyes blank and his expression lonely. Lin Yu stopped the bone girl outside, entered the house alone, and said.
"Fang Fan, I heard your words, don't force your uncle and aunt anymore. I'm leaving Falling Cloud Town, and I'll remember your kindness. ”
With that, Lin Yu turned around and left, and the bone girl followed behind him. Fang Fan hurriedly chased him out and said.
"Brother, brother. Stop, where are you going on this big night? Listen to me, you stay, I'll stand in my way, let's go together early tomorrow morning, okay? ”
Lin Yu looked at Fang Fan, then nodded and said.
"Brother. I listen to you. ”
Fang Haotian in the house looked at the figures of Fang Fan and Lin Yu in the courtyard, and then sighed and said.
"Fan'er, Fan'er, you never know how terrifying the Shingon Monk is after awakening, I think you just don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin."
With that, he turned around and went into the back room to brush a little bit on the paper, and then turned off the lights and went to sleep.
In the middle of the night, it is like a white cloth that has fallen into an ink bottle, and no matter how much you wash it, it will be difficult to turn white again. Everyone slept, only Lin Yu still couldn't sleep. He got out of bed gently, then sat in the courtyard and looked at the moon in the sky.
Tonight's moon is a hook, hooking Lin Yu's melancholy and sentimentality. He is an orphan under the moon, and the only orphan under the sky at this moment. Anything that is exclusive and unique with the addition of the only one, Lin Yu is the orphan exclusive to the moon, and only he can enjoy the care and love of the moon at this moment. It was also the first time for Lin Yu to look up at the moon for such a long time, and he saw butterflies and jumping dolphins inside. There is also a familiar old friend, a little monkey that his father took him to see when he was a child. Coincidentally, the little monkey was also an orphan.
"What for?"
Lin Yu turned around and saw Jinqiu standing behind him with a piece of clothing, Lin Yu stood up and said.
"Director, why haven't you slept yet?"
"I heard you come out, so I'll come out too. We all heard Fang Fan's father's words in the evening, don't take it to heart. ”
Lin Yu shook his head and said.
"Of course, how could I bother with the old man. What's more, people's words are not unreasonable. ”
"If only you could think so. What's next? ”
Lin Yu sighed, then said with a smile.
"Hmm... Let's go back. Take one step at a time, and there will always be a chance to figure out the mystery of your own background. ”
Jinqiu patted Lin Yu's shoulder and asked.
"There's something I've always wanted to ask you."
"What's the matter?"
"About the first live specimen you brought back. Is that sample your loved one's? ”
Lin Yu suddenly fished in his throat, and his eyes quickly avoided Jinqiu's eyes. Then he choked up and said.
"No... Not really. It was just a living specimen of an ordinary resentful corpse. ”
Jinqiu smiled faintly and said.
"I see. If you have anything sad in the future, just say it directly, you are no longer an outsider. ”
With that, Jinqiu went back to the room. Lin Yu's tears flowed out again, he obviously told himself that he would keep this matter in his heart and not let anyone notice. How could it be suddenly exposed, could it be that the moon like a hook tonight hooked it out of Lin Yu's heart?
