Chapter 068: Secret Realm
I thought it would be a special place, but Cheng Enyou walked to Kangfu Road, which is the only way to go to Xiao Nuo's house, how many times has Xia Xiangxi been back and forth. He turned into the middle square next to the senior center, and behind him was a small hill, on which there were scattered houses with two-story cement houses, and there were even small vegetable patches in front of each house.
"Where is this? I've been through so many times and I've never found out. β
"It's the west side of Xiushan Park, and everyone usually only walks through the north gate and the south gate, so it's normal to be unfamiliar with it."
Xiushan Park is the largest park in Qingjing District, and the villagers who originally lived in it moved away many years ago, and it seems to be a remnant here.
"Now the western area of Xiushan is also being repaired and planned, and the people here will be relocated after all the trails are completed."
Xia Xiangxi said 'oh', fortunately she was wearing sneakers, and this mountain road was really difficult to walk. But after a short while, she saw a neat concrete mountain road, which seemed to be newly built, and there were two unworking excavators parked not far away. At this time, the remnant sun is like blood, and the mountains and forests where only sporadic bird songs can be heard seem empty, and even more indescribably weird.
"Eunyou, how did you find out here?"
"Because it's close to the old funeral home."
Funeral parlor? Xia Xiangxi's steps slowed down, and after a closer look, she found that there were scattered tombstones hidden in the mountains, although the mountains were full of weeds, but the head of the monument could still be seen.
"Xishan is the location of the ancestral graves of the villagers here, so it has not been successfully demolished, and the excavation and clean-up work has dragged on for several years, and it was only recently that it was started again, and it was a loess road three months ago, and it was so muddy that you had to wear rain boots to get in."
Xia Xiangxi walked silently behind him, not knowing how to answer, she didn't understand how Cheng Enyou could be familiar with this gloomy place.
"You know, the former funeral home is not far from the west hill of Xiushan Park, more than two years ago because of the park expansion project, the site was also relocated, the main entrance was occupied by the infrastructure team, it is inconvenient to enter and exit, and my father is buried in the cemetery behind this mountain, if I want to pay respects, I can only take this road. After coming here a few times, I felt that it was quite quiet, and there were so many flowers and birds to accompany me, so I gradually liked it, and even when I didn't worship, I would come and go. β
Xia Xiangxi breathed a sigh of relief, at least this person was seriously explaining to himself, maybe Cheng Enyou came here just because he missed his father.
"When my father was buried, he was buried with the man and the woman, and the ashes were all in the same hole, and I thought they all died in that car accident. One day I will have to buy a new cemetery so that I can move my father's from there, otherwise every time I go I will have to sweep the grave of my father's killer and send flowers, and if I am late, I will be driven crazy by that man and woman. β
"Didn't you go to the tomb with Brother Youheng?" After saying that, Xia Xiangxi regretted it, Cheng Enyou turned his head and looked at him with a very strange look.
"Yes, I don't know who came up with such a bad idea, every time I go to the cemetery, I can see the shadow of that woman in him. He wasn't qualified to worship my father, and I never wanted to worship the woman, but we both had to, which is ironic and ridiculous. β
"In that case, why don't you just go and worship by yourself? Or, let Brother Youheng change a cemetery for his mother? I think if you bring it up, he'll say yes. β
Why? He had never thought about it.
"Now, the relationship between your father and Brother Youheng and his mother is the only connection between you, if you separate the cemetery of these two, will your connection fade? Enyou, no matter how much you hate Brother Youheng's mother, but you are dependent on Brother Youheng in your heart, and you will still choose Brother Youheng between your biological mother and him. I don't think it's wrong for you to think like this, your father would be relieved to know that your brothers are so dependent on each other, and you don't have to be estranged from Brother Youheng's mother because of him. After all, that's all about the previous generation, even if she makes a lot of mistakes, it's no longer there, Enyou, I don't think you need to trap yourself because of this. β
"Why did you become so sharp all of a sudden, they are all dead, yes, anyway, now they are dead without proof, so can you still say that the black is white? Turning what is wrong into being right? β
Hearing this person's displeasure, Xia Xiangxi immediately shut up and showed an apologetic look.
Cheng Enyou suddenly turned around, faced the dense woods in front of him, and asked, "If I suddenly disappear, will you look for me?" β
"How do you ask this?"
"Will or won't?"
"Of course I will!"
"How long will you be looking for me? Half an hour or an hour? β
Seeing that he deliberately provoked trouble, Xia Xiangxi was also anxious, "Of course I will keep looking for it, and how could you suddenly disappear?" Eunyou, what's wrong with you? It's been strange since we met in the hospital on National Day, is something happening again? β
"It's nothing, I'm just kidding, you can follow me well, it's easy to get lost in this kind of forest."
The sky is getting dark, there is still a small part of this mountain road that has not been repaired, especially near the top of the mountain, Xia Xiangxi stands on the edge of a small earth cliff, from here you can see the Jingjiang River, a spire emerges from the lush woods by the river, it is the Lingguang Pagoda at the foot of the mountain, only half an hour away from the White Deer Temple in front of the mountain. It is said that spiritual objects are enshrined in this pagoda, but it is never open to outsiders. It would be nice if I could go up and take a look, I don't know what the spiritual things are inside, Xia Xiangxi thought so.
"Eunyou, have you ever been to the Spiritual Light Tower?"
The person who had been standing behind him didn't hear back.
"I walked around with Xiao Nuo a few times before, and Xiao Nuo begged for a long time, and the gatekeeper didn't agree to let us in, you say, is it only monks who are qualified to go in?"
There was still no response from the side, Xia Xiangxi turned his head and looked, "Enyou?" β
How can there be a shadow of Cheng Enyou? Only Xia Xiangxi was left on the entire mountain. A kind of uneasiness and anger arose, she looked around, but in the face of this dense forest and scattered mountain roads, she did not dare to call Cheng Enyou's name loudly.
Is this man really gone? Or did he just do it on purpose? Xia Xiangxi suddenly realized that the person had been carefully arranged for so long as if it was just for this moment, he must be hiding in the dark at this time, he must be waiting to see his panicked and embarrassed appearance.
"Enyou, Cheng Enyou, you come out! Do you still have the heart to play now? β
"Cheng Enyouβ"
The whole mountain field was empty, only her own echo.
A billboard lit up in the distance, and Xia Xiangxi immediately dialed the person's mobile phone, but no one answered after eight calls in a row. She stood at the fork in the road in disappointment, in the darkening sky, the mountain forest looked a little hideous, looking at the two excavators under the mountain Xia Xiangxi could no longer suppress her anger, she ran into the dense forest, and began to find every inch of soil by tree.
There is such a person in the world who knows what he wants, but he never says it, and he is willing to open his hands until others force it over. And Cheng Enyou is basically such a person. Perhaps he felt that the things that he had to work hard to obtain were not of much value, and even if he got them for a while, he would not be able to keep them for a long time. What he really wants may be things that he doesn't need to keep, let alone fight for, whether you want it or not, they are there, and they won't change in the slightest.
There's movement on the phone!
Xia Xiangxi immediately slid away and said happily: "Enyou, where are you?" β
"Well...... Eun Yoo? Her heart fell, and it turned out to be Jingchen.
"Senior Jingchen, yes, it's you."
"What's the matter, Eun-yo, he's gone?"
The sky was already half dark, looking at the neon under the mountain, Xia Xiangxi said: "No, no, I read the wrong call, Senior Jingchen, is there something wrong?" β
"My brother made a club uniform for everyone, because you didn't come, and I don't know if it's the right size. I happened to pass by your neighborhood when I got home, and I happened to bring you clothes. β
"Senior, are you at the gate of our community?"
"Well, you...... If it's convenient, just come down and get it, Enyou's clothes, I've already given them to Zeyu. β
"Senior, I'm sorry, I'm not at home now, I'm sorry to let you run away in vain."
"Absent?" The person on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned, "It's past six o'clock now, are you still at school?" β
"No, no, I'm out there, and there's something going on."
"It's going to rain outside, you don't have an umbrella with you, do you? Where are you going to hide from the rain? β
Hearing Jingchen say this, Xia Xiangxi felt the change in the evening breeze, yes, the heavy rain seemed to be coming.
"Oh, I'll be back right away."
"I'll wait for you here."
"No, no, no, Senior Jing, go back, I understand that I will find you to get the club uniform, thank you."
"And where are you now?"
"I ......" remembering his previous experience in the hospital, Xia Xiangxi simply said: "I have dinner with my parents on this side of the river." β
Xia Xiangxi's parents did go out for dinner, but Xia's mother prepared dinner before leaving, and she asked Xia Xiangxi to let her go home to eat by herself before school.
"Senior Jing, my phone is running out of battery, I'll go to you again tomorrow, thank you."
Jingchen looked at the phone that was hung up, and there was a trace of disappointment on his face.
"She's not home."
"Haven't come home yet? Is it with Cheng Enyou? β
"Perhaps."
"What do you mean maybe?" Xiao Nuo was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and when he dialed it again, he was busy, "If you don't answer my phone yet, what are the two of you doing?" β
"Xiang Xi said that her mobile phone was out of battery, and she said that with her parents, it seemed to be a dinner."
"Mom and Dad?" It's when I hear it, Xia Xiangxi rarely goes out to eat with his parents, what is this girl thinking? Being with Cheng Enyou is with Cheng Enyou, what is there to hide?
"Yinuo, now, what are we going to do?"
"Let's look for it through the location of the mobile phone and see if we can use it to find Xiang Xi's location."
"No, this is, her privacy, you can't do this."
"I'm doing it for her good."
Jingchen pressed Xiao Nuo's mobile phone, and said with a serious expression: "It's disrespectful to Xiang Xi to do this, we are friends, this is not good." β
"If you don't respect it, I'm not respectful, what's your business?"
"Let's go back first, her business, there must be space, let her think about herself."
is worthy of growing up in a foreigner school, but he is brainless, and he can't stand Jingchen's soft grinding and hard bubbles, so Xiao Nuo has no choice but to go home first. How much did it take her to say that Dong Jingchen came to deliver the clothes today, so it was all messed up.
