When we came out of the Great Rift Valley, we felt completely alien to the world.

The first is life, and in just eight years, people's lifestyles seem to have changed.

The leap from material to spiritual, including popular things, is not something we used to have.

My brother and I are like two primitive people running out of the mountains, and everything we see is novel.

Not long after he came out of the rift, he began to feel hungry, but he didn't have a penny in his pocket, and there was only one person he could think of at this time.

My brother took out his mobile phone, flipped through the address book, and was about to dial it, I stopped him and said: "Forget it, just come out and ask people for money, it will scare Brother Liu to death, why don't we go to the second uncle's house first, the RV was handed over to the second uncle, and it should be there." ”

Speaking of which, I remembered in my mind that I had to come with my Moon Spirit girl before, and I don't know where she has gone now after these eight years, and whether she will have a chance to see her again.

My brother hesitated for a while, probably thinking that I was right, so he put down his mobile phone, and we used the only part of the money in our pockets to take a taxi to Henan and return to find my second uncle.

On the road, the driver always looked at my brother's beard through the rearview mirror, and there was an indescribable look in his eyes.

My brother was the last to be looked at with straight hair, and said, "Master, my orientation is normal." ”

"You misunderstood Big Brother!" This master is about thirty years old, and he looks a little younger than my brother, and when he heard my brother's words, he quickly explained: "I look at your beard, how much does it take, does it take a lot of time?" I've always wanted to grow a beard, but I don't take care of it, how do you take care of it? Can you teach me? ”

My brother was stunned for a moment when he heard this, touched his beard, thought about it and said seriously: "It's okay not to shave for eight years." ”

"Eight years?!" The master was also stunned when he heard this: "Then don't you wait for the last to grow like a Tibetan mastiff?" ”

"Who are you scolding?" My brother's face turned black when he heard this, and the driver quickly apologized, knowing that he had said the wrong thing, he hurriedly and embarrassedly wanted to change the topic, his eyes glanced at me and he was stunned for a moment, and then said to my brother: "Big brother, is this your father?" ”

"This is my brother...

"Huh?" When the driver heard this, his face became even more confused, he looked at me, and then at my brother, his small eyes were full of big doubts.

"Brother... If you can't chat, don't chat, and drive well? ”

My brother still has this temper, he speaks very straight, and the driver is speechless on the spot, and his face is full of embarrassment.

I couldn't help laughing next to me, because of the ghost curse, I looked very old, gray hair, at first glance, I did look like an old man, and it was not strange for the driver to admit his mistake.

From Anhui to Henan, two neighboring provinces, not far away, in one day's time.

When we arrived at the place, the driver said that they were all out to make money, and for the sake of the two of us, they also gave us a little cheaper.

He treated us as people who had returned home from work and sympathized with us, but my brother was very arrogant and said no, no less, how much should it be.

As a result, I took out the money from my pocket and found that I couldn't make it up, and the two of us tossed for a long time, and finally it was very embarrassing, and the driver gave a discount and got off.

"Now there is no money in this world, it is difficult to move an inch." My brother sighed while carrying his bag to the house, eight years have passed, the village has changed, but not much, it is still the same, the road, the woods, each house, roughly the same, the difference is only the change of the house.

Many people have demolished old houses and built new ones, one floor is taller than the other, just through this house, you can see how happy the owner of the family is when he builds the building.

Our house is still in the corner of the village, there are no buildings, no decoration, the walls of the old courtyard are covered with moss, the red brick walls are tattered, and no one has cleaned up this house since we left.

Before, the neighbor's uncle came in from time to time to help us take care of it, but after so many years, I heard that the uncle Wang had passed away.

After leaving home and waiting for my brother for eight years, he suddenly appeared and took me away for two years.

Then it disappeared again, and I lay in the mountain of corpses in the Great Rift Valley and waited for another eight years, and so on and so on, almost twenty years have passed.

Now that time has passed, things are not people, and I can't help but sigh when I think about it, I looked like I was twenty years old, and now I am more than thirty-five.

We walked to the front of the house, after the death of the uncle of the next house, this house was rebuilt by his child's marriage, it was three stories high, and my house was completely blocked, and I couldn't see anything from the front. 180

The door was locked, and after looking for a long time to find the key, as soon as I pushed the door open, I saw the RV in the middle of the courtyard, which was covered with dust, overgrown with weeds, and looked tattered.

When my brother saw the RV, he walked over with a painful face, stroked it with his hand, and said in a sad tone: "Baby... You have suffered..."

I got goosebumps on my flesh, and was about to talk about him, when suddenly the door of the hall opened, and a gray-haired old man appeared in front of the door, holding a cane in his hand, and looked up and asked, "Who?" ”

When we heard the voice, we all turned our heads to look over, and the moment our eyes met the old man, we were all stunned.

The sky was a little overcast, dark clouds were drifting, a cool breeze was blowing, and the courtyard was full of fallen leaves.

In the midst of the falling leaves, I heard his old voice: "Little poor? … Rich? …”

When he saw us, the crutches in his hand fell to the ground, and the whole person was stunned, and he didn't move for a long time, and his mouth opened and closed as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything.

"Second uncle...?" I recognized the voice, from the first time I heard it, even though his face was old, but his native accent had not changed.

"Is it really a second uncle?" When my brother saw him, he ran over excitedly and hugged his second uncle, unable to tell whether he was crying or laughing: "Second uncle... It's really you. ”

"You... You guys... Am I going to die? The second uncle looked at us, the whole person was at a loss, his expression was panicked, and he didn't know what to say.

Because in his memory, eight years ago, I had people announce that my brother and I had died in the Great Rift Valley, and after such a long time, everyone must have thought that we were dead.

But eight years later, he suddenly appeared in front of him again, and the second uncle even wondered if he was about to die before he would see us.

"Second uncle, don't be afraid, it's really us, we didn't die, we're back." I walked over and took his hand, it felt warm and real to the touch.

"But... They said..."

"I know." I nodded, looking at the old appearance of my second uncle, the whole person had mixed feelings, and there were many words in my heart that I couldn't speak.

"Second uncle, things are a bit complicated, I can't say anything clearly, but anyway, we didn't die, why did you live here?"

The second uncle looked at us, with tears in the corners of his eyes, and said, "I thought you were dead... I drove the car back and found that I was the only one left in this world, not even a relative, and it didn't matter where I lived, so I lived here..."

The more my second uncle cried, the more I cried, I also had mixed feelings in my heart, a little uncomfortable, people live in the world, there are no relatives around, only themselves, that is indeed a very lonely thing.

It's been too much to toss over the years, my brother is back, I don't plan to toss anymore, it's a good thing to accompany my second uncle to enjoy his old age, as for the ghost spell on my body, I'm too lazy to care.

"Let's go, let's go into the house and say, it's cold outside." We helped my second uncle into the house.

It's late autumn, the wind is cool, and the leaves are falling in the courtyard.

In the evening, the three of us sat together, made some food, got some wine, listened to the wind whistling outside, watched the yellow leaves flying, and chatted all night without sleeping.

The courtyard was cold and overgrown with weeds, and when I got up at night to go to the toilet, I looked up at the bright moonlight, which sprinkled in the courtyard, and suddenly I seemed to see my father, mother and grandfather, who were standing in the moonlight, looking at us.

I smiled and turned to walk away, and the room was filled with the cheerful voices of my brother and second uncle, unreal as a dream, yet so real.

For a moment, I wish time had stood still here so that we could always be there for each other.

However, it backfired, and everything has an end.

The next day after I woke up, at six o'clock in the morning, the sky was dim and not yet fully bright, my second uncle was still sleeping, I was woken up by my brother in a daze, and asked what was wrong?

The room was dim, and I saw him pulling around the bed for a long time, and then mysteriously opened his backpack.

I didn't know what he was going to do, so I struggled to sit up and take a closer look, and I was so scared that I almost turned my back on the spot!

I saw him take out a human head from his backpack and hand it to me, and said in a strong tone: "Tu Poor, this is what saved you, let's finish this last thing, and stay with my second uncle in the future, okay?" ”
