Chapter 1: Strange Things to Travel
The two lanterns at the door were worn out, the dim light came out of it, the wooden floor made a "creaking" sound when stepped on, and on the wall facing the gate hung an old portrait, a black-faced man with teeth and claws as if he was about to pounce out of it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the center of the room stood two people, an old man in his sixties and a young man under twenty.
"Master, you said that this is obviously an abandoned house, why is the lantern still lit at the door? Weird, right? The young man asked.
"Hehe, don't you understand? That's why they're looking for us, if the house isn't weird, can you ask us to exorcise the demons? The old man narrowed his eyes and replied with a slight meaning.
This young man is our protagonist Yuan Fan, but he couldn't help but pout when he heard this. To be honest, it was quite an accident that he exorcised with this master.
Yuan Fan is seventeen and a half years old this year, in the third year of high school, his studies are average, sometimes on the upper side, sometimes on the lower side, and his family conditions are also relatively good. At this point in time of the third year of high school, he is no different from ordinary students, and he is also trying to get into a good school with the college entrance examination in half a year.
Originally, this winter vacation, he was supposed to take the college entrance examination sprint cram school like most of his classmates, but an incident after the final exam last semester made him change his mind.
After the end of each semester's exam, the students have to return to the classroom to listen to the class teacher's last nagging of the semester, after Yuan Fan finished the English test, he felt that he was absolutely over-performing this time, and he just turned on his mobile phone and wanted to brag with his girlfriend Ding Yichen, but he didn't expect Ding Yichen's text message to arrive first.
Ding Yichen asked Yuan Fan to meet in the stairwell on the third floor of the teaching building, and when Yuan Fan arrived, it seemed that Ding Yichen and her best friend Ren Xinyi had been waiting for a while. Yuan Fan just said hello to Ren Xinyi, and before he could talk to Ding Yichen, Ding Yichen smiled and stuffed a letter to Yuan Fan, and then pulled Ren Xinyi upstairs without saying a word.
Yuan Fan was stunned for a moment, this atmosphere was very weird! He couldn't control his trembling and opened the envelope, saying that in the Internet era, he didn't give you WeChat, email, and those who wrote letters by hand were true love, and those who said this kind of thing, hum, then what he received must not be a breakup letter!
Looking at Ding Yichen's two-page breakup letter, Yuan Fan couldn't believe his eyes. The two of them have been together for a year and a half, and it is not for nothing when they quarrel and are unhappy, and it is not for nothing when they are emotional, but Yuan Fan feels that Ding Yichen's breakup this time is really with him.
In the next two days, Yuan Fan went to Ding Yichen's class to find her, and went to Ding Yichen to intercept her on the way from school. Ding Yichen told him very calmly every time to stop doing such childish things, so let's get together and disperse.
Yuan Fan had no hope of reuniting, so he could only grieve secretly. At the end of the semester, he returned to his home and kept venting in the room.
From childhood to adulthood, Yuan Fan's parents were not on the front line of educating him, in order to lay a solid foundation for his future and super confidence in the education level of his grandparents, they opened the company abroad, and threw him to his grandparents since he was 4 years old, plus when he was 6 years old, his grandmother died of illness, so to speak, he was brought up by his grandfather.
Yuan Fan's grandfather saw Yuan Fan's state, after all, he was his own grandson, so he took the initiative to find him.
"Yuan Fan, what's going on with you every day?" One day, after dinner, Yuan Fan returned to his room as usual and threw himself on the bed with his eyes staring blankly at the ceiling, his grandfather held an itch in his hand, walked into his room, and asked while scratching his back.
"Grandpa, I'm fine, just stay for a while." Yuan Fan's tone was flat.
"! It's okay! How many days off are there? It's been almost a week, right? Can you call it okay every day? Grandpa said with a smile.
Yuan Fan didn't answer, turned over, and left his grandfather with a back.
Grandpa Yuan Fan shook his head and continued: "A little baby as big as you, there can only be two possibilities for this state to suddenly appear, one is that the dearest relatives have passed away, this is impossible, right?" If any of your relatives suddenly left, I'm sure I know before you do. Another reason is that there is a problem with the relationship. ”
When Yuan Fan heard this, his body shook.
"Am I right? Your grandfather lived for more than sixty years, and he still can't see this clearly! Don't worry, I'm not your parents, I won't object to you having a girlfriend in high school, I want me and your grandmother back then, but at the age of 15, I ran all over the mountain with my little hand, and at the age of 17, I got married directly, and at the age of 18, I had your uncle! What are you doing now? Grandpa Yuan Fan said, full of spirit, as if he had returned to his youth.
Yuan Fan turned over and sat up and sighed.
"What if you know? It feels irretrievable. Yuan Fan said bitterly.
"Ah! Eldest grandson, what you said is so right, I see that you have been suffering for so many days, it must have reached the point of no return, so what are you still doing so painfully? Grandpa patted his thigh and said in agreement.
But I know this truth in my heart, it doesn't mean that I can accept it! It's been almost a week, and I still can't figure it out. ”
"Then what you said is also reasonable, in fact, this is also easy to do, if you can't figure it out, don't think about it for the time being. Hehe, is there a little girl who has a good relationship with you? You can talk to people more and solve it, and it will be over soon! Grandpa suggested with a smile.
Yuan Fan smiled bitterly, not to mention a little girl with a good relationship, he is wholeheartedly with Ding Yichen, he doesn't have too much contact with other girls, and even his usual friends have less contact, many times, his friends asked him to play, he wanted to accompany Ding Yichen to eat, his friend asked him to eat, and he wanted to accompany Ding Yichen to watch movies. At this time, even good brothers can't talk about this kind of thing, let alone talk about other girls. So here I advise all brothers who have girlfriends, it is necessary to be good to girlfriends, but you can't give up your entire circle of friends for your girlfriends, you should be good buddies, and you can't have confidantes who are not out of line, you know?
When Grandpa saw Yuan Fan like this, he thought, ho! The eldest grandson is very deeply invested, and it seems that there is no other little girl who has a good relationship, this is not good, I think back then, when I was with his grandmother, it didn't delay that I was still a famous handsome guy in the village, and there was a group of ...... behind me. Yes...... What's the name now, yes! A group of fan girls! It seems that there is still a gap between the eldest grandson and me.
"It seems that you can't do this method! That's okay, if you do something else to divert your attention. "Grandpa made another move.
Yuan Fan shook his head, "I can't lift my spirits by doing anything, I can always feel her breath in this city, and my heart is ruthless...... Oops! ”
Before Yuan Fan finished speaking, he was tickled by his grandfather on the head.
"You're still in love with me!" Grandpa adjusted his posture, "That's okay, since you feel uncomfortable staying in this city like this, you can take a trip before the Chinese New Year!" ”
"Tourism? But there are still tutorial classes to be held during the holidays! Yuan Fan thought for a while and said.
"Hey! Those classes, if it weren't for your father's strong request, I wouldn't want you to take them at all, wasting time and energy, a good holiday, the little baby has a good rest and fun is the right thing! Grandpa said with a smile.
"But...... I've paid all the money for the tutorial class! Yuan Fan said.
"That little money, grandpa still did the master, since you wasted money, in your state, don't waste time! Listen to grandpa and go on a trip! ”
It's as simple as that, under the persuasion of his grandfather, Yuan Fan gave up the tutorial class during the winter vacation, embarked on the road of tourism, and started the tourism of the Three Gorges-Wuhan line.
And Yuan Fan, the master, met on a cruise ship when he was visiting the Three Gorges by boat.
Yuan Fanbao's travel agency belongs to the "aristocratic" travel agency, many people travel to the group for cheap, but this travel agency is the opposite, the price is more than 5 times that of a travel agency with good conditions! And the high price in exchange for a superior environment. This travel agency is not only suitable for tourists who really want to relax, but also rely on luxury for food, accommodation and transportation. The steamer on this tour of the Three Gorges is the most extravagant of all the ferries, with few rooms and luxurious facilities. For Yuan Fan, since he came out to distract himself and dispel the shadow of his ex-girlfriend in his heart, he must not treat himself badly if his family conditions allow.
However, the Three Gorges swam on the third day and the next day, Yuan Fan found that something was wrong. There are a total of more than a dozen people in a regiment with themselves, and the number of "noble" regiments will definitely not be large, and the standard configuration of this ferry seems to be twenty people. The others were nothing, but there were four of them who were very strange. On the first day, everyone listened to the guide's instructions in the deck room, and then for the next two days, a couple with their son, who was about 5 years old, never left their suite again. And the other old man, about sixty years old, Yuan Fan has rarely seen him, the only time he saw him was the next night Yuan Fan couldn't sleep, when he came out to look at the wind at two o'clock in the middle of the night, he vaguely saw the old man flashing from a distance, looking at the direction, it was actually towards the suite of the mysterious family.
Yuan Fan adheres to the principle that more things are better than less, and his emotional problems have not yet been dealt with, how can he care about other people's strange things, even if it is very strange, he is not ready to take it to heart.
But sometimes, you don't look for trouble, things look for you!
On the last day of the cruise, Yuan Fan had just watched the ferry sail at different heights through the drop between the locks, and returned to his suite, before he could sit down and turn on the TV, there was a knock at the door.
When I opened the door, I saw that it was the couple and the old man at the door! The little boy in her husband's arms seemed to have fallen asleep, but his face did not look very good.
Seeing Yuan Fan's surprised expression, the old man smiled, broke the awkward atmosphere, and said, "Ahem, little friend, are you alone in this suite?" ”
"Of course I'm alone! Is there anything you guys are up to? Yuan Fan was asked so headlessly, just asked back, but his heart tightened, yo! These can't be some Jiangyang thieves or something, right? Ask me if I'm alone, don't you want to make sure I'm alone, so that you can rob me of my money?
Yuan Fan was still thinking nonsense, and the old man spoke again.
"Oh, that's it! Don't be afraid, Xiaoyou, we have no malicious intent, we came to you to do us a favor! ”
"Oh? How can it help? ”
"Is that right, can you leave this room for us ten minutes? We promise not to move your things, how about borrowing these ten minutes, and we can still give you 1000 yuan? The old man said hurriedly.
"Ten minutes? What are you going to do with my room? Yuan Fan said curiously.
"Uh...... This one...... It's hard to say, but we have absolutely no ill will towards you! You have to trust us about this. ”
"You say no malice, no malice? How can you casually break into other people's rooms like this, and don't tell me why, giving a thousand yuan is amazing, and those who can be in this tour group must not care about the thousand yuan, right? It's not impossible to lend you ten minutes, but I have to tell you why, right? Although Yuan Fan thinks it's a good thing to help people, it's so inexplicable that people can't accept it.
Before the old man could reply, he heard a "poof", which startled the old man and Yuan Fan, and the two turned their heads to see that it was the wife of the couple, and they knelt down directly for Yuan Fan!
"Little brother, please, just lend us ten minutes! Please......" The wife knelt down and clasped her hands, with a sad expression on her face, tears flowed down instantly, and she couldn't stop pleading.
Yuan Fan was really taken aback, he had grown so big, and no one had ever knelt down for him, he subconsciously went to support this woman, helped him a few times, but did not help him up, the woman was crying as if she was spread on the ground.
"This ...... Here's what to do, you hurry up! What to say! Yuan Fan was sweating profusely, and he looked at the man holding the little boy on the other side, wanting him to do a favor.
The man's face was also full of sadness, but he didn't want to help Yuan Fan pull up his wife, he just closed his eyes, and his lips kept trembling.
Yuan Fan looked at the old man again, and the old man couldn't stop sighing and shaking his head.
Now Yuan Fan can be circled. In this battle, I came up to borrow your room, and if you want a reason for someone to kneel down for you, you don't make a fuss, just crying, a little infiltrating!
Yuan Fan couldn't help the woman, and he couldn't get the slightest help from the other two people, so angry that he took two steps back, wandered left and right twice, and then stopped as if he had made a decision.
"Alright, alright! What are you guys doing! I can borrow this room! But I have to know what happened! Because you're going to use my room, I at least have the right to know, right? ”
