Because today is Saturday, I don't study at night.

Although, when night falls, the demons and monsters hidden in the city will come out. But before the eleven o'clock curfew, as long as you don't go to a place that is too remote, there is hardly a problem.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, evening self-study will not be canceled.

It will not be canceled unless the demons and monsters are particularly violent in the recent period.

Sitting on the bus home, Wu Wei looked at the familiar and unfamiliar buildings on both sides of the road.

Lucheng is a small inland county town with little development value, so most of the buildings are gray and old.

The old building, which was very consistent with his memories, made him feel like he was in a dream.

"I left for ten years, but I didn't expect it to come back in this way. ”

Although the macro world line of this world has changed, the small deer city is still what he remembers.

After five stops, I got off the bus, followed the shortcut road in my memory, and walked on the bluestone slab of the laneway.

The tall banyan tree shaded the sky and blocked the sunlight overhead, and the cool vest made his steps quicken.

In the past, when I walked on this road, I felt very cold.

Now being in this altered world made him even more uneasy.

"Next time I won't take this bus. ”

The 302 bus only needs to take five stops, and then cross this short road to reach the Luhua community where his home is located. Although the 303 bus can go directly to Luhua Community, it needs to sit for eight stops and is very crowded.

In contrast, he always took the 302 bus home.

Walking briskly in the winding alleys, the sound of cars gradually came from below.

This made his uneasy heart gradually calm down.

When he walked out of an alley, the warm sun shining on him, he felt as if he had crawled from deep water to the shore as if he had escaped from a lifetime away.

"Definitely not to walk this road at night. ”

Turning his head and looking at the dark road behind him, he seemed to feel that something was watching him.

I don't know if it's really there, or if I'm scared of myself.

"Forget it, let's go home!" he shook his head, and he didn't think much about it anymore.

Luhua Community.

A newly renovated community on the edge of Lucheng in recent years.

Because the land was occupied by the developer, his family bought a decent house in this community with a sum of money.

The location of the community, the architectural style, and the trees planted in the community are all consistent with the memory.

The only difference is that at the gate of the community, where there was originally a pool, it has now become a small temple.

The vermilion temple is covered with black glazed tiles.

The walls inside the small temple are covered with yellow paper symbols, and in the middle of the small temple, it is not the Bodhisattva Buddha, nor the Jade Emperor of the Three Qing Dynasty, but a statue named Wu Zhiqing.

The painted stone carvings vividly restore a vivid man.

Looking up at the sky, with chic long hair and handsome face, he is not inferior to the stars of the wax museum in the previous life.

At the base of the statue, the man's identity is clearly engraved.

Wu Zhiqing, Huang Jiexiapin, was employed by Lucheng Real Estate Company, on March 4, 2007, he erected a statue here to protect the safety of Luhua Community.

"This statue can keep the community safe?"

Wu looked at the people who entered the community in a daze, and after pious hands folded to express his gratitude to the stone statue, his index finger and middle finger were put together, and after dipping a little water in the stone statue and the stone jar, he pointed on his forehead and left shoulder and right shoulder in turn before leaving.

Although he was slandered in his heart, he still painted the scoop according to the gourd and followed them.

After doing this, he seemed to notice that the paper symbol behind the stone statue flickered faintly.

The yellow paper symbols plastered all over the walls are mostly blank yellow paper, with a small number of bright red lines. If you don't look closely, you won't notice it at all.

"Mother, mother, why do we have such respect for that stone statue?" asked a little girl who was not familiar with the world, carrying a small red schoolbag and holding her mother's hand.

"Don't be rude, call Lord Wu. The woman corrected solemnly.

Looking at her daughter's weeping expression, her face softened, she squatted down, looked at her daughter seriously, and explained: "Because! Lord Wu can check whether there is anything filthy on our bodies." Once it exists, the yellow talisman behind Master Wu will remove the filth from us as soon as possible, so that we will not bring danger home. ”

"What is filth?"

"The filth is,"

"Did you just remove the filth from me?"

The statue is just a cover, what really works is the yellow charm on the wall.

The paper talisman that flickered just now may be the thing that removed the filth from his body.

Thinking about it, it is only in the alley where I come back that it is possible to get dirty.

"This world is really dangerous!"

He didn't know what would happen if the filth was not eliminated on his body, but in any case, something bad would happen, for sure.

Room 602, Building 6.

Standing outside the door, Wu Wei didn't knock on the door, took out a key from his pocket, and opened the door directly.

When the door opens, you will be greeted by a simply renovated living room.

The three-bedroom house has a small balcony, which is completely enough for a family of three to live comfortably.

"Is Xiaoyu back? Go wash your hands and eat right away. ”

As soon as I heard the sound of the door opening, Liu Fen's gentle voice came from the kitchen.

"Good. ”

Wu Wu worriedly responded, and when he saw his father Hong Zhengyang who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, his eyes couldn't help but be a little moist.

In the past, when the land was not occupied, my father and mother would come close to their hands, and the sun would rise and fall, facing the loess and turning their backs to the sky, and they would look for food in the land for him to go to school and study.

Now that there is no land, Hong Zhengyang entered a door factory and did painting work.

Although the salary is not bad, the ubiquitous lacquer, over the years, gradually dyes his stomach into a colorful color.

In the year he graduated from college, his father suddenly fell seriously ill, and because he was busy looking for a job, he couldn't rush back to see him for the last time.

This man, who has always been silent, has never beaten him or scolded him, and the father and son have never said anything more than the exchange of money.

"What's wrong Xiaoyu?" Liu Fen, who was holding a plate of vegetables, looked at his son who was stunned strangely.

"It's nothing, the wind was a bit strong when I came back, and my eyes seemed to be in the sand. ”

Wu Wei rubbed his eyes, unwilling to let them see his weak side.

"I'll see. ”

"It's okay. ”

He waved his hand, sat down at the dining table, and looked at Hong Zhengyang on the sofa.

"Dad, it's time to eat. ”

Hong Zhengyang looked at him strangely, and felt that this 'dad' was a little weird.

Like, it seems to be more emotional than usual.

"What, are you out of money?"

"It's not. Wu Wei smiled and shook his head, but there was an indescribable bitterness in his heart.

"How are you doing?"

"You kid, don't be here with me, you don't have you. Did you do something at school?"

When Liu Fen heard this, she also looked at him with concern.

Wu worried

Taking a deep breath, he took out the death responsibility letter and said, "I passed the preliminary test of the Daomen, and on May 25th, I will go to Cat City to participate in the assessment of the Daomen, I hope you can agree to let me go." ”

He wanted to persuade his father not to go to the factory to spray paint, because his stomach cancer was caused by his colorful paint.

However, he is now soft-spoken, and his father will definitely not listen to him.

"Really?" mother Liu Fen's face suddenly showed a look of joy.

If their son can become a Taoist, then their family will be prosperous.

When Liu Fen was overjoyed, Hong Zhengyang silently picked up the death responsibility book that Wu Wei put on the table.

As he read the words, his face grew more solemn.

"Well, really. Wu Wei nodded.

Just when Liu Fen was overjoyed, Hong Zhengyang silently stabbed her with his elbow and handed her the death responsibility letter in his hand.

Liu Fen took the death responsibility letter, and her happy face suddenly became uneasy.

"Xiaoyu, will you really die?"

"No, it won't. The teacher said that only fools die, do you think your son is a fool?"

Liu Fen nodded subconsciously.

"No, Mom, I'm a fool in your eyes!" Wu Wei was very hurt.

"You've always been bad, you're not stupid. Son, let's not go to that Daomen assessment, I heard that the pass rate is extremely low, last year in our Lucheng, only one person passed. It's so dangerous, you're still so stupid, and it's useless to go. Xiaoyu, listen to Damn, don't go, okay?"

Liu Fen said at the end, and her tone began to whimper.

Her son, doesn't she understand yet?

Although he is lazy, once he decides something, he will work hard to complete it.

She was really, really worried that something would happen to him.

When he was young, he was not allowed to turn off the lights before going to bed, and he shivered when he told ghost stories, let alone watch any thriller ghost movies!

Grown up, good face. Quietly hiding in the room to watch a thriller, trying to strengthen his guts, but not once succeeded.

He is so timid, in the face of real ghosts, there will definitely be problems!

"Mom, don't worry. Don't you know my guts? Since I was a child, I have not been afraid of the sky, what loach, yellow eel, lobster and crab, which one has not been defeated in my hands. Wu Wei looked proud.

"But it's not loach eel, it's not lobster or crab, it's, it's"

"Alright, don't say it. ”

Hong Zhengyang was afraid that she would increase the psychological burden on Wu Wei, so he interrupted her and looked at his son in front of him solemnly.

'Before I knew it, he had grown so big, and time passed so fast!'

Looking at the son in front of him, Hong Zhengyang let out a sigh of emotion in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Have you really decided?"

"Huh?"

"No regrets. ”

"Never. ”

Hong Zhengyang took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I agreed." ”

"I disagree. Liu Fen suddenly said loudly.

"Hong Zhengyang, why do you agree, Xiao Yu is my son, the meat that fell from my body, what qualifications do you have to let Xiao Yu take risks?"

"Mom, I'm going to be fine. ”

"Shut up! I'm talking to your dad right now, and I'm not in your position to interject. ”

"Yes,"

"Xiaoyu, you eat first, and I'll talk to your mother. ”

After Hong Zhengyang finished speaking, he took Liu Fen back to the bedroom together.

After a while, the sound of their suppressed quarrel kept coming from their room.

Listening to their quarrel, Wu Wei took the rice one bite at a time, eating tastelessly.
