Chapter 60: This Winter
After the plane landed, Zhao Qiankun and I stepped off the plane. Regarding Zhang Mu's departure, Tengu seemed very calm, but Yu Dan was a little unhappy. I know what she is thinking in her heart, since Zhang Mudu can leave, then I should be able to live a little stable life.
It's just that a lot of things in the world don't just mean you can do it if you want to, and besides, I always want to figure out some things. After the group walked back to the divination hall, Tengu left. Before leaving, Tengu also told me some of his thoughts, since Zhang Mu had decided to leave, then Fuqingtang would only do some things to invite gods and Buddha statues in the future.
As for all the rest of the things, Fukuseido no longer does it, and Tengu is no longer the boy who just came out of the mountains, and the warrior who used to drink disinfectant in the hospital has now become a figure who can take charge of himself, at least do some business and not starve himself to death.
The days passed so simply, and after I came back from Yunnan, my divination hall also did a few business, and there were no supernatural events, basically all of them were suspicious in my heart. Autumn in Chongqing is always short, and it has passed in the blink of an eye.
Before we knew it, we were all dressed in thick clothes, and before we knew it, it was December. On this day, Yu Dan and I sat in front of the store and chatted, wrapped in a down jacket. "Whoever told me that the winter in the south is not cold, I feel like I'm about to freeze to death now." Yu Dan said while covering his little hands.
I looked at her, then stood up and closed the door. He turned on the air conditioner in the house again: "Although the temperature is relatively high in the winter in the south, the cold is damp and cold. Over there, the temperature is cooler, but you won't feel cold if you wear thicker.
Here, it doesn't matter how thick you wear, the cold is from the inside out. After I just finished speaking, Zhao Qiankun continued: "The cold in the north is physical damage, and the cold in the south is magic damage." I glanced at Zhao Qiankun: "Then what do you say the cold in Chongqing is like?" Zhao Qiankun smiled: "Mixed damage!" ”
Yu Dan and I smiled and shook our heads, and after closing the door of the store, coupled with the effect of the air conditioner in the room, the room soon warmed up. It was raining lightly outside, and in this kind of weather, basically no one would come to my place, so I was happy to chat with Yu Dan and Zhao Qiankun in the store.
Sitting on the sofa with a cup of hot tea in your hand and reading something casually, this kind of life is actually quite comfortable. In the past few months since returning from Yunnan, Zhang Mu got married. The two of them didn't do anything, but chose a way to travel and get married. The new house of the two was bought on the edge of the Yangtze River, and all the layout of the home was designed by Zhang Mu himself.
Zhang Mu smiled and told me that this might be the last time he would use these things again. I accompanied Zhang Mu to drink once in his new house, and I haven't been looking for him since. Zhao Qiankun and Yu Dan once asked me why I didn't go to Zhang Mu as often as before.
I always shook my head and didn't answer either of them. Now that Zhang Mu has decided to leave this circle, it may be okay for both of them not to contact them completely. I didn't tell Yu Dan and Zhao Qiankun about these things, and they may not understand it when they say it, so it's better not to say it.
On this day, Chongqing, which rarely snows, actually had fine snowflakes, although small, but it did snow. I sat on the sofa and looked at the snow outside the window, and there was some emotion in my heart. Maybe the snow is really a sign of something.
The days are still going on day by day. When we all put on thick clothes, when the streets of the city are free, the Spring Festival is coming.
"Li Hao, what are you going to do for the Chinese New Year this year?" Yu Dan sat beside me with a cup of tea and said. I thought for a moment: "Me? What can I do, just stay in the store. Yu Dan thought for a moment and asked me tentatively: "Otherwise, you will go back with me for the New Year?" I smiled and shook my head: "No, you just go back." ”
Yu Dan didn't say anything more, turned around and went into the room, and went to pack his things. Because today is the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month. After Yu Dan entered the room, Zhao Qiankun slowly walked out of his room. "Senior brother, I have something to tell you." Zhao Qiankun stood in front of me and swallowed.
"If you have something, you just say something, what do you want to do?" I took a sip of water and looked at Zhao Qiankun and said. Zhao Qiankun looked at me and smiled awkwardly: "It's almost the New Year, I want to go back to Maoshan, but I don't have the money to buy a ticket." I put down the cup and looked at Zhao Qiankun, this kid has been coming to me for a year, and he has grown up unconsciously.
I nodded, stood up, and walked to my room. He took out 10,000 yuan from the pillow lower. I put it in my hand and walked out of the room. "Here, the kid also knows that my money is all from your sister Yu Dan, so you just take this first, come here for a year, and bring something for your senior brothers and your master when you go back, no matter how much, it's always such a heart."
Zhao Qiankun smiled, touched his head, and accepted the money I gave him. Yu Dan wants to go home, Zhao Qiankun wants to go back to Maoshan, and I have become a lonely person again, and I am the only one left to guard this store this year.
Yu Dan dragged the suitcase to the airport, and Zhao Qiankun happily took the 10,000 yuan I gave him to buy a lot of things, and then stepped on the train to Maoshan. I am not worried about Zhao Qiankun's safety at all, even if this kid has a lot of money on him, he is fine, not to mention stealing or robbing, it is definitely more unlucky to meet Zhao Qiankun than to meet the police.
After all, the police don't know how to do tricks! And the police will catch you at most, but when you meet Zhao Qiankun, a fat beating is absolutely indispensable. As for Yu Dan, don't worry about me, such a big person can't say that he is lost. So as soon as these two people left, I didn't have anything to worry about.
On the morning of Chinese New Year's Eve, I woke up from my bed. Looking at the empty space in the room, I felt a little miserable in my heart. You say that I have been messing around for a long time, what are you trying to do in the end, when the Chinese New Year is over, there is not even a person around. I'm the only one left.
So, I got up, cleaned up, took out a bottle of wine, a few pieces of yellow paper, and a little paper money from the cabinet, closed the door and went to the bus station. On this special day, I'm going to go to a place, and since I'm also alone, let me go and accompany that person.
The bus drove slowly on the road, and there were many people on the bus, everyone had a happy smile on their faces, and I was the only one who looked so out of place. For the first time in the first twenty years of my life, I felt lonely. Laughter and laughter are lit up, but they never make me feel warm.
The bus stopped in a small county town, and after getting off the bus, I followed the address given to me by Zhang Mu before and walked to the location of a cemetery. The whole cemetery is mixed with the faint smell of paper money after burning. It's quiet, there's not so much noise and no hassle.
And this is also the place where my beloved girl rests. I slowly walked over to a tombstone. Putting down the contents of his hand, he sat down regardless of the chill on the ground. "Cen Si, it's the New Year, and I don't have anywhere to go, although I know that you have been reincarnated, but I still want to come and talk to you." I said as I pulled the wine out of the bag.
"I remember that in the past, you definitely drank as much as you could, and now that you're gone, I don't even feel like I can drink, but today I still want to drink with you." As I spoke, I opened the bottle, raised my head and took a sip of the liquor. The spicy liquor flowed into my stomach, choking on tears.
After pouring half a bottle of wine in front of Cen Si's curtain, I took out the paper money, and waved it in the void without using a lighter, and the paper money burned brightly. "I know you don't need these things anymore, but I brought them to you anyway, no other than to come and see you. I don't know what's good about me Li Hao, why do you and Yu Dan fall in love with me? What do you like about me? ”
I muttered, using the paper money in my hand to light the cigarette in my mouth. The smoke and alcohol made me unable to control my emotions anymore and I started crying. "Niko, I really don't know what to do now, I really want to don't care about anything, I don't think about anything, just pretend that I don't know everything.
But I'm not stupid, I know, I know everything, and even what he is going to do, I can guess it, the rarest thing for people is to be confused, but what is more difficult than being confused is to pretend to be confused. Niko, can you tell me what I should do? ”
I smoked a cigarette and took a heavy puff of wine. Cen Si is dead, Zhang Mu is gone, and Tengu will not be involved in these things. Zhao Qiankun and Yu Dan have both returned home, and this winter may be the end of everything. It's just that I'm still in the middle of a whirlpool, and I don't know how to choose.
The burning paper money was blown by the wind, and black gray flew all over the sky. My face was lit up by the fire. The temperature of the fire slowly dried my tears. But what I didn't notice was that not far behind me, a girl who looked seven or eight points similar to the picture on the tombstone was standing there with something in her hand.
The girl looked at me quietly, and tears flowed down her face.
