When I was about to get off work the next day, Yun Duruo called me out of the dissection room, asked me to change my clothes and go with her, I saw that it was still early to go to the butcher's house, and asked her where she was going.

"When you go to your birthday, you have to bring a present." Yun Duruo said angrily. "You don't understand anything about the world."

"I don't understand what it means, the butcher himself said that he wouldn't buy anything, you didn't listen to him, just buy it and throw it out." I said as I changed my clothes. "What's more, I don't have any money, and I still owe a lot of debt to the butcher, and I have calculated that I will be working for him for the next three years."

"I didn't let you pay, Jiang Ju was polite, you were really polite, and you didn't give anything expensive, the courtesy was light and affectionate." Yun Du Ruobai said coldly with a white look. "It's no wonder that your eyes haven't grown, you don't stretch out your hand to hit the smiling person, and you have to give gifts to your liking, you see that Jiang Ju has been working too much recently, so you should make him happy."

"Do what you like?" I was stunned and asked curiously after Yun Duruo. "The butcher is such a dull man who doesn't find out what hobbies he has, what gift can make him happy?"

"You'll know when the time comes."

Yun Duruo didn't answer, drove with me to pick up Han Yu, yesterday the butcher specially explained and called him, I was afraid that Han Yu would say the wrong thing, I told him all night last night, saying that it is better to talk less if you are more wrong and more wrong, it is better not to say it, I will help him answer.

As soon as Han Yu got in the car, he saw me staring at him nervously, and before I could speak, he folded his hands and begged me not to speak.

"I remember, I really remember, if you can, don't say it, don't think I want to go, I'd rather be at home with Yinyue, it's not all your own trouble."

Yun Duruo's car parked next to an inconspicuous street, there is an endless stream of people coming and going, there are all kinds of things, both sides of the street are full of stalls, walked a few steps left and right and looked forward to it for a long time, and found that antique furniture, four treasures, ancient books, calligraphy and painting, agate, jade, Chinese and foreign coins, shadow puppets, faces, religious tokens, national costumes, "Cultural Revolution" relics, and even daily necessities have everything.

"Here?"

"Ghost City!"

Han Yu's blurted out answer made me dazed for a long time, and Yun Duruo smiled and said to Han Yu.

"I didn't think you knew this place."

"The ghost market is mixed with dragons and snakes, how can I not know about the ghost market when I am in the shroud business." Han Yu curled the corners of his mouth with an uninhibited smile. "How can you know about the ghost market as a girl?"

"My dad likes to come here, and he used to come with him when I was a kid, and over time I like it a lot." Yun Duruo replied.

"Can any of you tell me first, what is a ghost market?" I found that they completely ignored my presence.

"The ghost market is actually a market, which can be traced back to the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, when the national fortunes declined, and many dignitaries and dignitaries were in the middle of the road, so they stole the antiques at home and sold them." Yun Duruo explained to me unhurriedly. "After all, this is a very important thing, and you can only choose to trade with lanterns at three or four o'clock in the morning."

It dawned on me, and I nodded and laughed.

"Oh, so this is a ghost market."

Han Yu turned his head to look at me solemnly and said.

"Don't laugh, this place is not simple, I think back then, there were some unknown objects in the ghost market, because they all have unspeakable secrets, most of them can only be sold at a cheap price, so there is a rumor that "the ghost market produces good goods". ”

"Aren't you buying a gift for the butcher?" I looked at the stalls on the side of the road and frowned. "What can I buy when I run to a ghost market?"

"Jiang Ju doesn't have any hobbies, but he likes to play with Wen, and he has a soft spot for porcelain, which is expensive for us to afford, and he may be able to pick up leaks when he comes to the ghost market, so he really didn't buy a fake to take it as a thought." Yun Duruo said unhurriedly.

"The butcher likes to play?!" I was a little shocked when I heard it. "I heard that when the butcher was a soldier, he carried a knife and killed people like hemp, and he even dared to drink human broth, such a big man actually likes porcelain?"

"This is called cultivating sentiments, and you won't understand it if you talk to someone like you." Yun Duruo probably knew that if he continued to talk to me, he would raise the bar again, and he didn't bother to pay attention to me.

Han Yu and I followed her around the ghost market aimlessly, speaking of which, there are really a lot of cultural games here, almost everything is sold, Yun Duruo picked it up while walking, and when it was almost dark, she didn't find anything she liked.

At the beginning of the lanterns, it slowly became lively, and the name of the ghost market brought out the atmosphere here to the extreme, I stopped at a fork in the road, and suddenly looked at a deep alley next to it, and Han Yu and Yun Duruo, who were walking in front, turned back.

"What are you doing here, you haven't bought anything yet." Yun Duruo urged as he followed my gaze. "What are you looking at?"

I was suddenly a little surprised, I always felt so familiar here, as if I had seen it somewhere.

"I think I've been here before."

"You've been here?" Han Yu and Yun Duruo asked in surprise after glancing at each other. "You don't even know about the ghost market, how did you come here."

"There was a white wall full of creepers, and around the corner was a house with two red lanterns hanging on it." I paint a picture of what I remember.

After hearing this, Han Yu and Yun Duruo looked at the deep line of my gaze in amazement, and there was nothing except a little light.

"Are you mistaken, where are you talking about these things?" Han Yu asked curiously.

I didn't answer, I walked slowly towards the depths of the alley, every step was so familiar, the light in front of me guided me, like a call to me, Han Yu called me behind me, seeing that I didn't stop, I had to follow Yun Duruo.

When I got to the light, I stopped.

"Don't make a fuss......"

Yun Duruo only stopped halfway through speaking, she and Han Yu both looked up in surprise at the wall covered by creepers, and a light white color was revealed in the gaps, as I described, I didn't have the shock on their faces, and continued to move forward, sure enough, it was a corner.

I walked in, and the two red lanterns hanging outside the gate were the same as I remembered.

"You...... Have you really been here? Yun Duruo asked with some surprise.

"How come I don't know, when did you come here?" Han Yu also asked curiously.

"In a dream!"

Yes, that's where I was in my dream that night, no wonder I remember it so clearly, in fact I can't tell the dream until now, because it's too real.

"In a dream?" Han Yu opened his mouth slightly, a little speechless.

In the middle of the red lantern is a dark and old plaque, and the red light illuminates the three large characters on it.

Like a dream!

I crossed the threshold and walked in, this is a teahouse, everything is so familiar as in the dream, whether it is the layout and furnishings have not changed in the slightest, it is full of people drinking tea and listening to books, maybe there are too many people in and out here, no one deliberately pays attention to me, as if no one can see me in a dream.

I walked to a corner in my dream, and I followed the memory in the dream, and sure enough, I saw a table in the corner.

In the crowded teahouse, this idle table stands out unusually well.

"Yuzi, this is it, I came here in a dream, and it was also this table at the time, but there was a person sitting at the table in the dream, I couldn't see his appearance, I only remembered his back."

Han Yu and Yun Duruo's expressions were not only surprised but puzzled, and it was obvious that it was difficult for them to accept the fact that I had been here in my dream.

"In a dream...... What's on this table in your dreams? Han Yu asked solemnly in front of me.

I struggled to recall for a moment and said with certainty.

"The man was sitting here alone, with a couple of cups of tea in front of him, and when I went, he was pouring tea into the tea bowl, as if he knew I was going, and he pushed a cup of tea in front of me."

"How many cups of tea?" Han Yu asked seriously.

"Six cups...... No! I shook my head as soon as I was sure. The man then poured me another glass, one for seven. ”

Han Yu and Yun Duruo's expressions changed from confusion to complete shock at this moment, I saw Han Yu slowly move his body, and from his and Yun Duruo's obscured line of sight, I saw the tea house.

There are no more, no less than seven cups of tea bowls on it, and I touch the teacups with my hand, and the residual warmth is still there, presumably the tea drinker has just left, and Han Yu and Yun Duruo don't know what to say.

I slowly sat down to the place where I was sitting in my dream and picked up the tea, the fragrance of tea wafting from the cup overflowed, and even the taste was exactly the same as in the dream when I took a sip.

"The man was sitting here with his back to me." I pointed to the location on the left and muttered to myself.

Han Yu sat next to me, his face was gone, his face was no longer confused, he picked up the teacup and curled the corners of his mouth at me, and smiled faintly.

"If you come, you will be safe, since the dream brought you to this place, there must be a reason, this tea is still hot, it must be left for us, don't waste it."

I was stunned in my seat, Han Yu's expression, especially his smile, was uninhibited and cynical, and the other person who walked out of behind me in my dream was also sitting where Han Yu was sitting now, the two of them looked exactly the same, even the smile was exactly the same, I could see it.

"In a dream...... You just sit here and smile at me. ”

"I ...... I'm in your dreams too? Han Yu took a sip of tea and asked in surprise.

"Yes, but that person is you, but you don't recognize me." I nodded and gathered my thoughts in reply.

"In a dream...... Who else? Yun Duruo sat down and asked curiously.

"There's another person, unfortunately I haven't been able to see his face, but I know the back of that person, and I saw it once when I was very young."

"What about the other than the man?" Yun Duruo asked eagerly.

"She's trying to ask you if you're in your dreams." Han Yu smiled and interjected.

"Nope." I still don't know what Bai Yun Du Ruo cares about this.

"That's really good, it's rare that the two of you are really good friends, and you never forget to be together in your dreams." Yun Duruo's expression was a little disappointed after hearing this, and he said coldly.

Only then did I realize that she was concerned about why I only dreamed of Han Yu and that person, and not of anyone else, in fact, I also wondered why I didn't dream of Yun Duruo.

I called Dr. Tea, who brought the tea and poured the water, and pointed to where we were sitting.

"Who was sitting here in this seat before we came?"

"What you asked, there are too many people passing by the teahouse every day, how can you remember it." Dr. Tea replied with a smile as we poured our tea. "But I remember someone paid for the tea and said that they would keep the spot, saying that three friends would come later...... Are you not the man's friends? ”――

The three of us didn't speak for a long time after Dr. Tea left, and now I suddenly can't tell the difference between my dream and reality, and I want to know who the person who left us to sit down is.

After drinking tea and leaving the teahouse, I looked back at the plaque when I went out, like a dream!

The illusion of the dream became real here, I remember that the person in the dream kept asking me, did you remember who I was, I didn't understand what they meant, the man said he was waiting for a friend, but I can't remember that there was such a friend.

I desperately wanted to dream like that again, for nothing else, but to know one thing.

Who is in the dream!
