After May Day, Mu Yun was no match for Mu Yi's strength, and was sent to a well-known private school with closed militarized management in the capital, and he couldn't get out of the school gate on weekends, because of this, Mu Yun and Mu Yi had a solid quarrel again, and therefore Lan Qing's plan to go out to rent a house had no reason to continue.

After a few days of haze and fog, Lan Qing could only stay in the house and practice. Finally, in the middle of May, the sun came after a long time. This year, the summer in the capital came quickly, and after a few rains, the temperature began to rise gradually. Finally took off the heavy trench coat, the embroidered long-sleeved T-shirt was draped over a slightly thicker bohemian shawl, and the beige linen wide-leg pants wrapped the straight and slender legs. Sunglasses and a large-brimmed straw hat almost covered the already small face. On his arm was a large bag of ethnic customs woven with hemp rope.

Ten years, the capital has been a little vague in Lan Qing's memory, and now it can be described as "things are people". Looking at the hurried passers-by and the whizzing cars, everything was unfamiliar to her. Fortunately, ten years of life abroad, because of the physical allowability, because of the edification of dance, and because of the creation of various environments, her heart has long been less affectionate, no matter how confused her heart is, at least the surface is still calm. Looking at the strange storefront, the strange people, everything seemed to be very close to her, but far away, I didn't want to let such emotions affect me anymore, so I reached out and hailed a taxi.

"Master, please go...... Johnson Cemetery. When Lan Qing said the address, she was a little uncertain, and her heart was abrupt. Over the years in the United States, I slowly remembered some things, knowing that my master died when I was 15 years old, and it seems that he was buried in a place called Johnson Cemetery, but for more than ten years, I don't know if the cemetery is still there, and I don't know if I can still find Master's tombstone.

"Oh, yes." The driver's thick Beijing accent made Lan Qing feel in a trance for a while. It seems that in the depths of my memory, there is a person who also likes to talk to himself with such an accent.

The driver master in the capital is always very enthusiastic, as if looking at Lan Qing's face is not too sad, the driver can't hold back his words, and can't help but chat without a word, "Listening to the girl's accent, she is not a local, right?" ”

"Huh?" Lan Qing was stunned for a moment, and then she realized what the driver meant, thought about it and shook her head with a smile, "No." "At least I didn't learn this typical Beijing accent.

"Have you been to the capital before?"

“…… Ten years ago...... Been here. "Today's capital is really like a strange city to me, and I want to find the familiar feeling from the little things around me.

"Hey, that's been a long time, and the girl is in her early 20s at most, and she was a child ten years ago. In recent years, the capital has changed a lot. ”

"Hmm." Looking at the street outside the window, Lan Qing replied a little casually.

The driver didn't seem to want to disturb the passengers' viewing of the scenery, so he stopped talking and turned on the radio. The host inside is talking about the crazy property market housing prices in Beijing, and then sighing that it is not easy to live in Beijing now. After listening to it for a few minutes, the driver was very emotional, but he couldn't hold back his words.

"Hey, what do you say people live for, isn't it just for food, clothing, shelter and transportation. Now the house price has risen, do not let people live, last time a passenger told me that the child is going to get married, the woman said to want a house, the family now has a set to live, the woman does not do, the result is to see the new house, found that the two of them a month's salary, now not even a square meter can not be bought. I said you still have a house to live in, my parents are more than 80 years old, this person is old, began to worry about the future for himself, a while ago, the old couple wanted to buy a cemetery, this look, is the most suburban cemetery in the capital, now there is no one more than 100,000 can not come down, now not only the living people's residences are expensive, the dead people's residences have also begun to rise in price, this is a living people can't live, and the dead can't afford to die. ”

"So expensive?" Retracting his gaze to look at the scene, Lan Qing couldn't help but be taken aback when she heard it.

The driver listened and waved his hand, "You young people don't care about this, you definitely don't know." Last month, during Qingming, I pulled several groups of guests to Qiaoshan. A guest told me that his old father, who had just left a few years ago, bought a piece of land in Qiaoshan, do you know how much it is? 350,000, 350,000, this is still a trust to find a relationship to rob. Qiao Shan can't grab it now. ”

"Really?" Shui Lanqing frowned and thought about it, how much has the price of the cemetery risen so much? "That's going up so fast, it didn't seem to be 10,000 ten years ago."

"Less than ten thousand? No way. The driver shook his head decisively in front of him, "You young people, you really don't know about life." When the place was first built, there were 30,000 or 40,000 pieces of land, and that was more than 20 years ago. Qiao Shan's site, some people say that it was calculated by a feng shui master, there are mountains and rivers, built according to the mountain of Kowloon and a phoenix, and because it was built early, that place is not a suburb now. I have a friend who bought a piece of land for his old father there more than ten years ago, and it's not a good place, it's nearly 100,000 yuan. ”

The driver shook his head as he spoke, as if he was lamenting that young people nowadays are too uncannibalistic. Lan Qing listened and frowned, if he remembered correctly, it seemed that he didn't leave too much money for himself when the master died, so that in the first year or two when he went out, he almost relied on Mu Yi to help himself, if it was so expensive, how could he afford it.

The car turned a corner and entered the winding road of the cemetery, where there were scattered vendors selling worship supplies on both sides.

"Just after this Qingming Festival, there are not many people going up the mountain. Would you like to buy some flowers or something? Further up it gets more and more expensive. The driver slowed down and looked at the vendors on both sides and asked.

After thinking about it, Lan Qing nodded, "Okay, then please wait a minute." ”

"It's okay, it's okay", said the driver as he pulled the car aside. watched Lan Qing get out of the car and buy a large bouquet of chrysanthemums.

"Master, just put me at the information desk, I still have some things to ask their staff." When you go up to the parking lot at the top of the mountain, you can hear the "whirring" wind. Lan Qing tightened the shawl on her body again, put on her hat and glasses, thanked the driver, and got out of the car.

There are not many people going up the mountain, a few cars are parked here and there are a few cars in the parking lot, I don't know if it is to worship or the staff, there is a faint cry of a woman and a low voice of a man in the distance, so it is not miserable.

Pushing the door into the door of the information desk, it was deserted, a man in his 40s was sitting in front of the computer, and the door of the office on the other side was hidden, and the voice of talking faintly came out.

took off his glasses and hat, came to the front of the stage, just stood up, the man seemed to know that someone was coming, his hand had not left the mouse, his eyes were a little reluctant to leave the computer, and he looked up and asked impatiently, "What's the matter?" After speaking, he raised his head and saw the person standing in front of him, and couldn't help but be stunned, as if he didn't expect it to be so otherworldly. Little girl, is there anything wrong with you? Standing up, I couldn't help but smile on my face.

"Hello," looking at the man's completely different attitudes before and after, Lan Qing just smiled politely, "I want to check the location of a person's cemetery." I was buried here 11 years ago, so I can't remember exactly where it is. ”

The man listened with a smile all the time, only when Lan Qing said "11 years ago", he was stunned, raised his eyes and looked carefully, and said with a smile, "Yo, 11 years ago, no wonder I can't find it, there has been a lot of expansion here." Who is she? He asked casually, and sat back in his chair.

“…… It's me...... Teacher, called Shuixin. "It has been too long, and when I mention this name again, in addition to deep admiration, the endless sadness at the beginning seems to have faded away.

"Oh, teacher......" the man typed a few words on the keyboard, "at what age did you die?" ”

After a pause, "43 years old." "Although Master is depressed, but fortunately, he is still optimistic, although his health is not very good, he doesn't need to take medicine all the time, but in the winter of 11 years ago, he suddenly became ill and died like this.

"Oh, what's your name?"

"My name is Shui Lanqing."

Listening to Lan Qing's name, the man couldn't help but look up at her carefully, a little curious, and a little scrutinized, "Well, this surname is not much, you and your teacher both have this surname, but it can be regarded as a coincidence...... Can I bring my ID card? "The man seems to have found something and wants to check his identity.

Lan Qing hurriedly took out the ID card she had just completed a few days ago from her bag and handed it to him. The man looked at it, nodded, and gave it back to Lan Qing.

"You're 26 years old? How does it look like a new adult? Lan Qing didn't expect the man to suddenly say this, blinked, smiled, but didn't know what to say. Shuixin, No. 9, Row 16, District A. The man said, but he thought that the cemetery in this area was the best in the entire cemetery, 11 years ago, how could it be 150,000, ordinary people could not afford it, looking at the buyer column in the computer display, the name next to "Shui Lanqing", I felt so familiar, Chen Pengwei, who is this person?

"No. 9, Row 16, District A." Lan Qing slowly repeated and nodded, "Thank you." He turned and walked out the door.

The man sat in front of the computer and watched Lan Qing go out, and slapped his head suddenly, "I almost forgot." While flipping through his mobile phone, he said to himself, "No wonder the leader wants me to pay more attention, it's really beautiful, it can't be a new little star, right?" It's a pity to follow the old man, but look at that temperament is not quite like doing that business, but these days, those with bad temperament don't come out...... Oops, found it. ”

"Hey, leader, it's me, I'm Lao Mao...... Yes, yes, last time you told me that you wanted me to pay attention to someone for a while, and there was a little girl who seemed to be quite similar to you......"
