The beginning of summer is approaching, at dusk, Sunan, who is nearly fifty years old, finished dinner, walked out of the house slowly with his wife, and the two walked west along Beishan Street hand in hand. I saw that he had a little gray hair on his head, some vicissitudes in his eyes, and wrinkles on his face had gradually crept up, much rounder than when he was young, and his belly was a little bigger. Nearly thirty years have passed, and time has carved the imprint of a man on his body.

The big trees on both sides of Beishan Street are already covered with green leaves, which are shining golden under the sunset, which has a unique flavor. A breeze blew behind them, and the leaves on the trees kept swaying and rustling, as if bidding farewell to spring and welcoming the coming summer.

After walking for long, there was a junction in front of them, and I saw them cross the road and walk to the opposite sidewalk, and walk straight towards that road. They kept walking along the road, about 200 meters, and came to the north of the Su Causeway of West Lake. Since Sunan moved to Beishan Street, as long as the weather is warm, he will come to Su Causeway after dinner, walk from north to south, and then walk back.

The two of them walked on the Su Causeway, looking at the lake on both sides of the Su Causeway, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, the waves were sparkling. There are burning clouds hanging in the sky, reflecting on the surface of the lake, the lake is fiery red, and the wickers on both sides of the Su Causeway hang down on the lake, one red and one green are shining together. Sunan looked at this beautiful scenery, he was a little uneasy, his eyes were a little uneasy, his feet stopped, looked at the lake next to him, and said to the person beside him: "Ying'er, we have been out for almost half a month, why haven't we come back yet?" ”

The man smiled slightly and said, "What! I only miss my son for half a month? "The voice is soft.

Sunan turned his head, looked at his wife, and said with an uneasy look in his eyes: "I've been restless lately, my eyelids are jumping, my heart is uneasy, and I always feel that something is going to happen to Ce'er." ”

His wife also turned her head to look at him, stretched out her hands and clasped Sunan's hands tightly, and said with a concerned face: "Brother Nan, you relax, didn't our Ce'er go to Xi'an to play with his friends, how could something happen?" ”

The uneasiness in Sunan's eyes slowly disappeared, and he smiled slightly: "I hope I'm too worried, I haven't been like this for a long time." ”

His wife also smiled and said, "I see that you are old, so you think too much in your heart, don't think too much." After speaking, he pulled Sunan and continued to walk forward.

After dealing with the affairs of Guiyang, Zhang Zhen took the taxi to Longdongbao Airport, looked out the window, his face was solemn, his heart was heavy, and he said in his heart: "I won't miss it again this time, right?" Then I looked at my watch, and it was half past eleven, two hours before the take-off time.

More than half an hour later, Zhang Zhen arrived at the airport and walked in through Gate 3. Looking around, there were still a lot of people, and he searched for more than ten minutes before he found the location of China Southern Airlines to handle air tickets. More than a dozen people were queuing in front, and Zhang Xin took out his ID card and stood at the back of the line. Then he looked down at his watch, at half past twelve, his eyes were complicated, and he said in his heart: "There is still an hour, it should be enough!" ”

After queuing for nearly twenty minutes, it was finally Zhang Zhen's turn, Zhang Zhen handed his ID card to the service staff on the counter, and then said, "Beauty, handle the ticket!" ”

The waiter glanced up at Zhang Xin and smiled, "Sir, where are you going?" ”

Zhang Zhenleng paused for a moment and said, "Hangzhou." ”

Then the waiter swiped his ID card, typed on the keyboard a few times, and then said, "Sir, I'm sorry, your plane has already taken off." ”

When Zhang Xin heard this, his heart sank suddenly, his eyes were full of helplessness, he raised his hand to look at the time, it was almost two o'clock, and then he said in his heart: "After so many years, it is still like this, is this to make me die of old age in Guiyang?" Then he took back his ID card and slowly walked out the door.

He took a taxi and returned home, and his wife saw him open the door and come back, only to see him expressionless, and then said with a surprised face: "Didn't you go to Hangzhou?" ”

Zhang Zhen looked at his wife, then shook his head, and said helplessly: "I don't think I will be able to get out of this Guiyang in my life." ”

His wife walked up to him, then took his hand and comforted: "Everything is providential, go to the sofa and rest first, and I will pour you a cup of tea." ”

Zhang Xin sat on the sofa, took a sip of the teacup handed over by his wife, stared at the teacup with his eyes, and felt indescribably uncomfortable, and then said: "It's been almost thirty years, there is no way at all, there is an accident in the clan, but I can't help in a hurry!" ”

His wife sat down next to him, looked at him, didn't know what it was like, and said silently in her heart: "I only hate myself for being incompetent, I can't help him at all, and I can't share his worries." ”

Then he said to Zhang Zhen: "God won't let you go, there must be his reason, don't think too much, maybe things will take a turn for the better!" ”

Zhang Zhen took another sip of tea, put the teacup on the table, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one and put it in his mouth, then lit it, took a deep breath, slowly spit the cigarette out of his mouth and said: "I hope so, now I can't do anything except wait, every day is torment, and I don't know how Nanjing is doing!" ”

At night, Zhang Zhen and his wife went to bed before eleven o'clock, and the night sky in Guiyang was exceptionally clear at this time, full of stars, and there was not a single cloud. The Big Dipper was moving slowly, moving directly above Zhang Xin's house. Time passed little by little, and when the night came, the Big Dipper was connected again, and all the white light converged on the Broken Army Star, and shot at Zhang Xin's house at the same time.

Zhang Xin slept very deadly, motionless, only to see a gossip picture slowly emerge from Zhang Xin's chest, inhaling all the white light, the white light gradually dimmed, and then disappeared, a voice said in his ear: "Wake up!" Wake up! Hearing this voice, he woke up from his dream, his eyes suddenly opened, and he saw that the room was filled with a golden light, a little dazzling, and then rubbed his eyes, and finally saw the light source clearly.

In the mid-air directly above the bed, there was a gossip diagram that rotated counterclockwise, he looked at this diagram and immediately touched his back with his hand, the dent on his back was gone, his eyes were full of surprise, and he said with a look of surprise: "Bagua diagram!" The voice was a little loud, and he immediately looked at his wife next to him, but he didn't wake her up, and he was secretly happy in his heart.

Suddenly, a man's voice said, "Don't look at it, she won't wake up for a while." ”

Zhang Zhen looked left and right, up and down, except for the picture, there was no one at all, and then said in surprise: "Who?" ”

The voice continued, "I don't know who I am. ”

Zhang Zhen looked left and right again, but he still didn't know where this voice came from, he was a little angry in his heart, and then said loudly: "Come out for me!" Where are you pretending to be a god? ”

The voice laughed: "I'm on the gossip map!" ”

Zhang Zhen raised his head and fixed his eyes on the gossip map, only to see a person sitting cross-legged in the middle of the gossip map, with his hands on his legs, it was not very right to say that he was a human being, to be precise, it was a faint golden figure. The figure smiled, its eyes staring at him, its eyes hollow, like a dead man.

Zhang Zhen looked surprised, there was something strange in his eyes, and there were countless questions in his heart, and then blurted out: "You are the gossip map?" Lived in my body for decades? ”

The figure still smiled and said, "I'm not a gossip map, he's just a temporary residence for me." It's been decades, and that night happened to be connected by the Big Dipper, absorbing their energy, and that place was useless. Then I found out that you were peeking around, and your numerology was exactly what I wanted and could help me, so I hid in you. ”

After Zhang Zhen listened, he had a strange expression on his face, and then asked: "Then I can't leave Guiyang, is it your ghost?" ”

The figure nodded and said, "Hmm! At that time, I couldn't let you go back to Nanjing, because the next Big Dipper connection was here in Guiyang tonight, and I needed your help, so I left you behind. At that time, I saw that you were in a hurry to go home, so I moved a little bit to strip your time out of the space at that time, and then you were forever still in that space, and then speed up your time, and finally put your time back in that space, so you will find that time is instantly faster by an hour or two every time. It's the same today, it's all for tonight. ”

Zhang was a little uncomfortable in his heart, and even said with some anger in his eyes: "Then why don't you come out and tell me?" Leave me here without my consent! ”

The figure sighed and said, "Don't be angry, calm down. I'm also out of desperation, and I can only come out when the Big Dipper is connected or when a zombie appears. And if you help me now, I will be able to help you and your family in the future. Aren't you here to find the gossip map just for the family? ”

Zhang Zhen slowly calmed down, his heart was very calm, and then asked, "Now that the Seven Stars connection has passed, then I can go back tomorrow, right?" ”

The figure nodded, and said, "Yes, but I still have to borrow your body." ”

Zhang Zhen looked surprised, and said with some displeasure in his eyes: "Hasn't your goal been achieved?" Why do you want to go back to my body? ”

The figure looked at Zhang Xin and said, "When I recover, I will leave your body, or it won't be long before I am in your body, you will only be good for you, no harm!" ”

Zhang Xin said with a look of disbelief: "Who knows what you did in my body?" How can I trust you? And you don't even know who you are! ”

The figure smiled and said, "All the triads of your life can live with me, speed up my recovery." This kind of game is one in ten thousand, it is my luck to meet you, and it is also your luck, maybe God wills so! Wouldn't it be nice to increase your strength while I recover? You should be able to feel your strength getting stronger day by day, right? ”

When Zhang Xin heard this, he felt a little strange in his heart, and he couldn't say it, and then said in his heart: "He is right, in the past 20 years, my strength has indeed become much stronger, is it really because of him?" It doesn't look like a liar to him, so it's okay, maybe he's going to have to fight hard a year later. ”

Zhang Zhen nodded and said, "Hmm! Then I'll lend it to you, I've been using it for decades anyway. Where did the bloody corpses in the Red Cliff Heavenly Book go? ”

The figure smiled and said: "Thanks to its blessing, the Seven Stars will come in advance, I have absorbed it and recovered a lot, and every time I recover, it will shorten the time for the arrival of the Seven Stars Connection." ”

Then the figure smiled, laughed happily, and then made a mark on his hands and slowly disappeared into the gossip diagram. At the moment when the figure disappeared, the gossip map flew to Zhang Xin's chest and slowly sank in, and Zhang Xin fainted on the bed after a sound.

Three days later, Zhang Zhen got on the plane to Hangzhou, Zhang Zhen looked out the window, his heart was very relaxed, his face was hard to hide his joy, and he muttered in his heart: "I can finally leave Guiyang, more than 20 years!" ”

Soon after, the plane landed at Xiaoshan International Airport, Zhang Zhen got off the plane, walked out of the airport hall, called a taxi, took out the address given to him by Sunan that year, and then said to the driver: "Go to Meiling North Road." ”

When he arrived at Meiling North Road, it was already evening, Zhang Xin got out of the car and found an uncle on the side of the road, showed him the address, and the uncle pointed to the front after reading it, and then said: "Just turn a corner in front of you." ”

Zhang Xin's eyes were full of joy, and he said with a smile: "Thank you, uncle!" ”

Zhang Xin walked forward quickly, and sure enough, when he turned a corner, he saw the address, and then walked over. In front of him was an old-fashioned building, the building was not high, the door was closed, he knocked on the door, knocked four or five times in a row, and the door slowly opened. An old lady in her sixties and seventies walked out, looked at him with wide eyes and unhappy written on her face, and then said loudly, "Who are you?" ”

He looked at the old lady with some surprise, and said in his heart: "The Su family is so welcoming? Then he replied, "My name is Zhang Xin, and I have come here to find a man named Sunan, and I am his friend." ”

Then he took out the address and showed it to the old lady, who said with an illiterate expression: "Sunan! He has moved to Beishan Street in West Lake, and I asked my son to give you a new address. ”

Zhang Xin took the address, said thank you to the old lady and his son, and took a taxi to Beishan Street. After asking the pedestrians on the road, he finally found the address, and he walked all the way into the community, but he didn't expect it to be a villa area. Looking at the villas, Zhang said sincerely: "Sunan, this kid is very good at enjoying it!" ”

Zhang Zhen walked to the door of Sunan's house, the door was closed, knocked on the door, and no one came to open the door. Seeing this, Zhang Xin didn't know what to do, and muttered in his heart: "Could it be that Sunan is not at home?" Now it's embarrassing! Then he turned around and prepared to walk outside. As soon as he took two steps, he saw a couple approaching, the man was in his fifties and the woman was not much different.

He watched the couple slowly walk in front of him, and although decades had passed, their faces were much rounder, but they still seemed to be there. He shook off the previous embarrassment with a smile on his face, and then spoke: "You are Sunan, right?" ”

Sunan looked at the person in front of him with a look of surprise, his heart was happy, his eyes were instantly full of joy, and he blurted out: "Zhang Xin? ”
