Saying goodbye to the station, Gu Anzhi followed behind Gu Yin, he looked at these people on the street, whether he knew it or not, he only felt uncomfortable, why did he choose to come back, was his head hot for a while, it was bad enough.

Gu Yin walked out of the station in the direction of the old street of the town, Gu Anzhi remembered, that was the road he would only walk when he was in elementary school, the primary school in his memory, Gu Anzhi couldn't remember clearly, it was a little vague, it was located in the depths of the old street, backed by a vast field, and then over, there were mountains, since graduation, he had never been to that street again.

Out of the station, there are a lot of students on the street today, the surrounding areas, the city, high schools, junior high schools, and elementary schools, all of which are on holiday, except for the Spring Festival, maybe only the National Day can have so many people, so lively.

Gu Anzhi lowered his head, deliberately avoiding the gaze of others, he changed out of his second middle school uniform, and put on the old white coat that he usually washed, maybe in the eyes of others, he would like to wear the second middle school uniform to show off, but for him, that dress will only make him more dazzling, and he has nowhere to hide.

Gu Yin turned a corner and walked to the first step, climbed this staircase, and officially came to the territory of the old street, Gu Yin turned around and looked at Gu Anzhi who lowered his head.

"You don't have to be nervous, my grandma is very nice, you don't know, and she often mentions you to me and asks about you"

Gu Anzhi raised his head, one foot was on the steps of the previous floor, and one foot was still below, and he smiled.

"No, I'm not nervous, I'm just thinking if I go to your house rashly with empty hands like this, will I..."

"Gu Anzhi! When did you become such a mother-in-law and mother-in-law, and you are still such a philistine, you are still a student, you don't want to study, and my master hasn't said anything."

Gu Yin was a little unhappy, Gu Anzhi always liked to think about something that was not there, in her opinion, it was completely unnecessary.

"I'm just going to say, since you think it's okay, let's go."

Gu Yin didn't continue to talk nonsense, turned his head and began to lead the way.

"You should be familiar with this road, we used to take this road often when we were in elementary school."

"It's okay, I haven't been here for a long time, I don't know how it's changed"

"Change, I don't think there has been any change, after so many years, even the surrounding stores are still those individuals, what changes can there be in a small place like ours"

Gu Yin took Gu Anzhi to climb the two-story high steps, standing at the entrance of the street, next to a post office, Gu Anzhi remembered that her grandmother used to come here often to pick up things, saying that someone sent them back, but she didn't say who it was, and Gu Anzhi didn't ask.

Compared with the main street below, the old street is undoubtedly a lot more deserted, all of them are shops, most of them sell clothes, and there are a few scattered shops, and no one shouts, Gu Anzhi hasn't heard the shouting for a long time, only when he was a child and his grandmother rushed to the market, now everyone is keeping pace with the times, and the set of the older generation is no longer applicable.

Gu Yin continued to walk forward, two student-like babies appeared on the ground, and the people around them looked at them curiously, Gu Anzhi was a little unaccustomed, continued to lower his head, and hurriedly walked forward, Gu Yin was very generous and enthusiastic, looking around with a smile.

It was not early, and the stalls outside were already being cleaned up one after another, and when you went to the depths, you could see some restaurants with open doors, and the houses gradually changed from small buildings of three or four stories to two floors, and finally there were rows of bungalows, many of which were still wooden structures.

Keep going straight and then turn left, Gu Anzhi remembered that there should be a fork in the road, one went up, two went down, and came to the first fork on the left Gu Yin did not stop, Gu Anzhi looked at it, there were many steps down, but it was not very steep, I don't know where it leads, he has never been, he didn't go when he was a child, and now, it is even more impossible.

Gu Yin continued to walk forward, and his eyes gradually brightened, it was a Pingba, so many years have passed, it has not changed here, there is a step below Pingba, go straight, that is the road to the primary school, there is an intersection on the left, it is up, Gu Anzhi remembers, he has been to this road, because there is a kindergarten on it, and he used to take Liu Yang to sneak in and play on the slide.

Gu Yin stopped at the fork in the road.

"It's elementary school down the line, should we go and see it?"

"Another day, today, I'm afraid it's not appropriate"

Gu Yin looked up at the sky, he couldn't see the sun anymore, and the clouds were shining with a pale yellow light, and they weren't very dazzling.

"It's okay, it's a little late today, so let's go back first."

Gu Yin walked to the upper left, Gu Anzhi was surprised, he didn't expect Gu Yin to have a house here, Gu Yin seemed to guess what he was thinking, and took the initiative to explain to him.

"The house here is not ours, it was lent to us by a relative and friend of my father before his death, but I didn't expect this to live for so many years, they were in the field, but they didn't care much"

Relatives and friends, Gu Anzhi thought of Liu Yang, could it be his father, but Gu Yin didn't say, it shouldn't be, if it was, there was no need for her to hide it like this.

Looking at some familiar scenery, through a bridge hole, in the turn of the climb up, you will go to the memory of the kindergarten, before it was still a dirt road, never thought, now it has been covered with cement, turned into a road, but it is not very spacious, only bicycles and motorcycles are allowed to pass, the car still can not drive up, no wonder it will look at the maintenance is not bad.

Gu Yin didn't turn and went up, he was going straight all the time, the trees on both sides were dense, and the sky was a little gloomy, which added a bit of forest, which made people a little depressed and uncomfortable, Gu Anzhi remembered the legend they talked about when he was a child, I heard that there was a thatched pit near here before, and he had drowned people, and that person had died for many days before he was discovered, and his death was very miserable, he was a stranger, and no one has claimed it so far.

"I remember it's a kindergarten here, Xiao Yin."

Gu Yin looked up, but his gaze was blocked by the trees on the slope, and he couldn't see it really.

"It seems that it has not been opened, it has been abandoned for a long time, isn't there a new one between the station and the gas station, everyone has gone there, I heard that the teachers invited are all college students from the city, and those old teachers who used to be basically unemployed, no one cares"

"Is that so, it's really embarrassing. Have you ever heard of that legend around here?"

"What a legend"

"Just... Thatched pit that"

Gu Anzhi was a little nervous, and after finishing speaking, he looked around, and occasionally a cat meow came out, which startled him.

"Haha, Gu Anzhi didn't expect you to be so big and so timid, you were not afraid of the sky and the earth when you were a child, and you even dared to break into the cemetery in the middle of the night, how do you know now that you are afraid, you have done too many things?"

Gu Yin laughed, the laughter spread far away, adding a bit of treachery, Gu Anzhi was a little embarrassed, and quickly moved closer to Gu Yin and shrank behind her.

"Okay, don't laugh, panic, how long is it going to be...

"Hey, I'll say, are you such a knight, hiding behind girls, are you ashamed, how long is it, I'll tell you it's still early"

"Did you live or go to school when you used to study?"

"Of course, I went to school for a year in the third year of junior high school, because of study"

Gu Anzhi admired the girl in front of him from the bottom of his heart at this time, this kind of mood and courage is really not something ordinary people can have.

"Aren't you afraid, it should be quite late for school at that time?"

"Of course I'm afraid, it's not too late, anyway, I can get home before dark, sometimes it's a long delay at school, uh, it's almost dark by this day, it's a little darker than now"

"Even if you still choose to go to school and live on campus. Isn't it good?"

"Just because I'm scared, I have to choose to escape, but I, I can't escape, I have to take care of my mother when I go home, and my grandmother is home alone, and sometimes I don't feel at ease."

Gu Anzhi was silent, his heart ached, and he didn't seem to feel so scared, he looked at the person in front of him, and secretly swore in his heart that he must protect her well for the rest of his life, and the knight should always guard the princess, if... If she could never have known, if she could have been by her side all the time, if ... But is there really so much if in this world?

Gu Yin continued, Gu Anzhi listened quietly, the sky gradually darkened, but Gu Anzhi no longer had the slightest fear.

"Anzhi, we will be afraid of many things, but how much can we escape, what can we do in addition to growing up in adversity, just like I told you before, escaping will not solve any problems, all we can do is to face it and then defeat it"

"Then you, don't you hate?"

"Hate whom?"

"Anyone can make it happen"

"Hate... Of course hate."

Gu Yin was a little melancholy for a while, and Gu Anzhi's heart tightened.

"Who?"

"I... I hate no one, I hate only myself"

"Don't be so Xiao Yin, you're not wrong, you're wrong."

Gu Anzhi looked at the slender girl in front of him, his heart had already been torn into meat sauce, he didn't want and didn't want Gu Yin to hate herself, if she wanted to hate, she should hate him, Gu Anzhi wanted to tell her this answer, but he couldn't and couldn't say it, he longed, but he didn't want Gu Yin to know the answer.

Gu Yin took a deep breath, and then spit it out again.

"Brother Anzhi, in fact, no one is wrong, the wrong is this world, you or me, the wrong thing is this world, it is the existence that created this world, they take fun of us, they keep us in captivity, they create us, but they play with us, use our grief as nourishment, satisfy their selfish and cruel hearts, they are not a qualified creator, and they are not worthy of being a creator"

Gu Anzhi was silent, is this what Gu Yin thought in her heart, she really didn't choose to escape, she chose the same method as herself, yes, in addition to hating herself, who else can they hate, they can only hate that ethereal thing.

"Brother An, we're here"

Gu Anzhi heard Gu Yin's voice, raised his head, and in the dim corner of the roadside, a dilapidated two-story building stood majestically in the corner, and a few bits of light from the first floor lit up the heavy darkness and the two broken hearts of youth.
