"What?" Chu Xiaoxiao frowned at the staff's answer and looked at Li Qin again.

Li Qin also looked at the staff in disbelief, although the two of them had already found out that something was wrong when they were at the door, but they didn't listen to what the people inside said, and they were still unsure.

Five minutes ago

The two came to the long-distance bus station in Li Qin's memory. But Li Qin never imagined that the long-distance bus station, where he was still sitting on a bench waiting for the departure "yesterday", has now become a movie theater.

The two walked into the cinema with the attitude of giving it a try and found the staff at the front desk.

Chu Xiaoxiao asked a little embarrassed: "Hello, may I ask...", Chu Xiaoxiao, who was outstanding in eloquence, suddenly didn't know what to say. She felt that her next words would be abrupt, and of course, her next words would be abrupt to everyone except her and Li Qin.

"Hello, do you need anything?"

Chu Xiao paused, and said with an unnatural expression: "That... Excuse me... Was this a long-distance bus station before?" Chu Xiaoxiao could clearly feel the burning sensation on his face. It's probably the most idiotic question she's ever asked. Asking a movie theater staff about a coach station is undoubtedly a stupid question.

It wasn't just Chu Xiaoxiao who found out that this was a stupid question, but the staff also found that it was a somewhat stupid question. But in the nature of her work, she can't laugh out loud right now. "Ahem, I'm sorry, this is the cinema"

"I know, I mean... Was this a former bus station?"

The staff shook their heads and said, "I don't know much about this. I just heard that this was an abandoned factory in the past. Our boss opened a movie theater. ”

"What?" Chu Xiaoxiao frowned at the staff's answer and looked at Li Qin again.

Li Qin also shook his head inexplicably, he remembered very well that he bought the ticket here "yesterday". Even the noodle shop of the good-looking woman next to her was still open, although the good-looking woman had become a scruffy man in her forties.

Chu Xiaoxiao smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." After saying that, he immediately pulled Li Qin out of the movie theater.

Chu Xiaoxiao walked out of the movie theater with her head down, and pulled Li Qin to the car, and then opened the car door thoughtfully and got in, "Shame on the dead! Shame on the dead! Shame on the dead! Old man Li, uh-huh... I'm so ashamed. Chu Xiaoxiao hung her head on the steering wheel and looked at Li Qin with a disappointed face.

Li Qin took out a folded ticket from his pocket and handed it to Chu Xiaoxiao. Chu Xiaoxiao opened the ticket, it was a kind of ticket she had never seen. At the bottom of the ticket is the address of the bus station: No. 205, Changsheng Street, Yinghe Road

Chu Xiaoxiao raised his head and glanced around through the car window, he was indeed catering to Changsheng Street, but there was only one movie theater here.

"Gollum" Chu Xiaoxiao's stomach shouted angrily at this time. After a simple breakfast in the morning, I drove all the way here with Li Qin. Chu Xiaoxiao glanced at his phone, it was already 13:20.

"Let's go eat, starve to death. Old man Li, you've been here for half a year, do you know that there are those authentic restaurants?"

Li Qin shook his head and nodded again, pointed to the old noodle restaurant that looked a little dilapidated diagonally opposite, and said, "It's all gone, no, except for that one." I was still eating ravioli at their house yesterday at noon. ”

"Okay, it's their house. Get out of the car to eat. Chu Xiaoxiao put out the fire, pulled out the key, pushed the car door, stepped out with one foot, and suddenly retracted his foot again, turned his head to look at Li Qin, and asked with a little joy in his eyes: "Old man Li, you said you ate at their house at noon yesterday?"

Li Qin nodded, "Yes, is there a problem?"

"Yes You ate yesterday at their noodle shop, and your yesterday was forty years ago. This shows that this restaurant has been open since 40 years ago! They must know the bus station you are talking about!"

"Huh?" Before Li Qin could react, Chu Xiaoxiao unbuckled Li Qin's seat belt.

The two of them stared at each other for a moment, and then said, "Get out of the car? Is it possible, do you want me to go around and open the door for you?" Chu Xiaoxiao smiled towards the position of the handle in the door.

"Oh oh" Li Qin turned around, opened the car door and walked out. Chu Xiaoxiao shook her head and got out of the car. After closing the door and locking the car, she always felt that she had done something less, but she couldn't remember it. So he took his own small steps and ran almost trotting to Li Qin.

Chu Xiaoxiao stood at the door of the store and looked inside, although it was already noon, there was no one in the store. The store is very small, about less than 20 square meters. There are only six tables and chairs neatly arranged in the store. Li Qin walked to the table in the middle and sat down on the left. Chu Xiaoxiao also walked in and sat opposite Li Qin.

"What do you want to eat?" Li Qin asked with a smile as he looked at Chu Xiaoxiao.

"Same as you. Chu Xiaoxiao looked up at the big red menu on the stained wall, and didn't know what to eat after thinking about it.

"Boss, two bowls of fresh meat ravioli. Li Qin shouted inside.

After a while, the man that Li Qin had seen before came over with a tray and two bowls of wontons on the plate. The man slowly placed the tray on the table, and brought out two bowls of wontons and placed them in front of the two.

The man's movements were very gentle, Li Qin didn't expect this man who looked like five big and three rough and a little sloppy to do this job so briskly and skillfully. After putting the things away, the man walked to the table closest to the operation and sat down against the wall to look at his phone.

Chu Xiaoxiao stared at the wonton in front of him and was stunned for a moment. Through the crystal soup, Chu Xiaoxiao could see the clean bottom of the bowl. The edges of the bowl are also clean, including the chopsticks and spoons that were handed to you. Chu Xiaoxiao picked up the spoon again and tasted the soup, the soup was very fresh, and he ate another bite of the wonton, which had a thin skin and a lot of filling. Chu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but praise: "Old man Li, if I had known you a few years earlier. I would have been able to taste this ravioli sooner. ”

Li Qin shook his head and said, "The taste has changed." ”

Li Qin's words, only listen to the "squeak". The two of them looked towards the place where the voice came from, only to see that the man suddenly stood up and looked at Li Qin with wide eyes.

Then he walked over quickly, looked at Li Qin, and asked a little excitedly, "What did you just say?"

"The taste has changed. ”

"Yes, yes, yes! The taste has changed...... You're right! Tell me quickly, has changed there?" The man's excited tone and excited expression made Chu Xiaoxiao feel a little scared.

Li Qin stopped his chopsticks, pointed to the half wonton in his bowl and said, "You shouldn't have any cooking wine in this filling." ”

"I see. Friend, have you ever eaten my mother's wontons? My mother has been gone for nearly ten years. You're the first to taste different. The man sat on the chair at the table opposite Li Qin, sighed, and then said: "I just want to continue my mother's shop and continue her craftsmanship." It's a pity, if I hadn't met you today, I might not have been able to make the taste of my mother's cooking in my life. ”

Li Qin smiled and said, "When I was a child, I stayed at a relative's house here for a while. I often come to eat the wontons made by my mother-in-law. Uncle, in fact, what you make is also delicious. ”

The man smiled, the old wrinkled skin wrinkled together, but it still made people see that he was happy.

Chu Xiaoxiao also stopped her chopsticks and asked, "Uncle, has there always been a movie theater next to here?"

"Uh-huh. The man first said a questioning "um", and then said a negative "uh-huh" twice.

Chu Xiaoxiao asked a little excitedly, "So, this was really a long-distance bus station before!?"

"Little girl, why are you asking this?" the man's tone suddenly became a little deeper.

Li Qin hurriedly interrupted and said, "My grandfather was gone a few days ago. Before he left, he told me that he wanted to visit an old friend of his, who works at the bus station. The two hadn't seen each other for 40 years, and my grandfather had returned to his hometown from that station 40 years ago. You see, the ticket is still here. Li Qin said and put a crumpled ticket on the man's table.

The man looked at the ticket, shook his head, and said, "Alas, boy. I'm afraid your grandfather's wish won't be fulfilled. The man pointed to the door and said, "I saw that station when I was a child. Later, somehow, when I was five years old, there was a rumble in the station one night, and then the whole station was on fire. The next day, the fire went out, and after inquiring, I found out that that night, a car exploded somehow. ”

"Is there no news report on such a big matter?" Chu Xiaoxiao thought to herself that if there was a relevant news report, maybe he could continue to explore this clue.

However, things did not go as well as she thought. The man shook his head and said, "There were no passengers that night. There were no big casualties, and ZF blocked the news. ”

"There weren't too many casualties, you mean... Or is someone dead?" Li Qin suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

The man nodded and said, "A driver surnamed Qin is dead. Coincidentally, he was alone in the entire garage at the time. Alas, the station has been abandoned ever since. More than ten years ago, a land maker came and bought it and opened it into a movie theater. ”

"Is your surname Qin?!Is it called Qin Wuyan?" Li Qin asked with some excitement.

The man shook his head and said, "At that time, I was still young, and I also listened to the adults talk about it after dinner. The one you said was named Qin Wuzhan and was your grandfather's friend?"

Li Qin nodded slowly, and the man could see that Li Qin was in a very sad mood now. got up and patted Li Qin on the shoulder and said, "Young man, in this life, life and death are up to heaven. Maybe you'll be gone that day. You're still young, and you've found such a good-looking girl. Go home more often to spend time with your parents. Time flies, and it feels like thirty or forty years have passed in a blink of an eye. Alas, the uncle went on to get busy. If you have time to come often, what your uncle will do next time should be the taste in your memory. ”

After eating, the two sat in the car and were silent. Chu Xiaoxiao patted Li Qin's shoulder and said, "Old man Li... Don't be upset. Maybe, maybe we have something else to do..."

Li Qin shook his head and said, "I just think it's strange. ”

"Strange, strange what?"

"I saw his business license when I just came out. The date of birth above extrapolates that he is 45 years old. According to his intentions...... It was the year I was in the car... Old Qin is dead!"

As soon as Li Qin said this, Chu Xiaoxiao's eyes widened, all this was too much of a coincidence.

What made Li Qin feel a little uneasy was that he always felt that someone was covering up his disappearance. The way to cover it up is extreme, even if it's murder!

Li Qin didn't know what had happened, why had the last train home disappeared last night. Why did he travel forty years later? And the most incredible thing about him was... Why, why the last memory in my mind is that handsome face, that long hair, that fan, and that indifferent smile...
