Half a year later.

Xiangxi, Longshan County, Chunkou Road Hotel.

"Kuroko, what do you think of my suit?"

"It has to be awesome, look at the old handsome."

"Fuck, don't lie to me."

"You're my boss, can I lie to you?"

Standing in front of the mirror, I straightened out my suit with a smile on my face.

Although I can't see what I look like in the mirror, I can still put on a tie for myself, just like Yujia taught me for the first time.

Maybe it's because I'm adapting too quickly, but in just two months, I've gotten used to seeing the light.

At first, I was a little unaccustomed to it, I always felt very inconvenient, and I almost went into the women's toilet when I went to the toilet in the hospital, but over time, I figured out how to live as a blind person.

"Clean up, we'll have to go up the mountain in a moment."

"Okay, little Anna rabbit went downstairs to buy snacks, I'll take a look, lest he get lost."

I nodded and said with a smile: "Brother will take you to eat delicious food in the evening." ”

"Yes."

After Kuroko left, I fell silent, smiling and repeating the action of arranging my collar, and did not speak for a long time.

A lot has happened in the past six months.

More than five months ago, led by Zuo Guangsi, an old-timer, Uncle Fat, Hai Dongqing, and several of them went directly to the waterhole I saw at the beginning, and by the way, they were entrusted by me to bring a lot of food and daily necessities to the old man.

I once promised the old man that I would go to see him when I had time, but it seemed that I had postponed this time by myself, and I could only find an opportunity to accompany the old man for a few days in the future.

They went there with the "Ghost Valley Corpse Sutra" and came back three days later, saying that everything was done.

That night, I had a dream.

In the dream, the old man smiled very happily, told me a lot, and said that life in the bamboo slips was not easy, thanks to the old Taoist priest who rescued him, if he had the opportunity, he would definitely have to pay homage to the old Taoist priest, because the virtues of the two of them were too similar.

Then, at the same time as dawn, the old man also said goodbye to me in a dream, saying that he was not in a hurry to reincarnate, and waited for the people below to urge him to go down again.

He said he wanted to see me more.

Of course, the old man didn't tell me where he was in the end.

Maybe he was watching me from the sky, or maybe he was in the wreath shop, holding a dry tobacco stick every day, smiling and smiling, looking at me who continued to live a stupid life.

In any case, I am already satisfied, the old man is fine, which is great news for me.

A week after they returned, Zuo Guangsi did me one last favor at my request.

Because Yu Jia's body is still in the heaven-sent bronze coffin, and she is in a state of impotence, I think only Zuo Guangsi can help me do this and rescue Yu Jia.

After all, the sin of yin and yang are about the same as the sin of yang, and it is not something that ordinary warlocks can handle at all, if the corpse is deceived when the coffin is opened, then whoever opens the coffin will die, and the fat uncle is no exception, so I can only ask Zuo Guangsi to help me with such a favor.

After he helped me do this, he just called me and disappeared, and there was no news from Luo Nengjue's predecessors.

Yu Jia's body was transported back by Zhou Yan looking for someone, and there was no sign of decay, like a living person, but there was no trace of blood.

When he saw her, Zhou Yan cried a lot.

Not long after, I went to Zhou Yan's house and personally kowtowed to Zhou Yan's parents, that is, Zhou Yujia's parents, and apologized.

Zhou Yujia's mother is a very enlightened middle-aged woman, when she saw me kneeling, she came over and was about to help me up, but Zhou Yan silently called me away.

I should shoulder some responsibilities, Yujia is gone, so my parents should naturally help take care of her.

As for Zhou Yujia's father, his reaction was much colder.

He only met me once, and then he never wanted to see me again.

But according to Zhou Yan, on the night I met, his father sat alone in Zhou Yujia's room, smoked for a long time without saying a word, and then came out with red eyes.

"I told my dad something, although he didn't believe it, but he said that you are a gentleman, he thought you ran away, and he didn't expect you to come to see them." These are the original words that Zhou Yan gave me afterwards.

Hai Dongqing returned to Tianjin, saying that he was called back by Mr. Hai, and was ready to take over the family business, and he estimated that he would have more time to be busy in the future.

When I heard the news, I was very happy, and I said that this grandson was also sensible, and knew that he would go back to help his old man do some "housework".

Uncle Fat stayed in Guiyang to accompany me, and after moving into his new home not far from the wreath shop, he opened a fortune-telling parlor opposite the wreath shop.

With the help of wealthy businessmen like Zhang Qinghai, Uncle Fat's business is very good, and he basically makes a lot of money every day.

There are three things he does every day.

Eat, sleep, and talk to me.

Oh yes, he loves Xiao An very much, the last time Xiao An said he wanted to see the panda, the next day the fat uncle was ready to book a ticket to take us to Sichuan chic, this efficiency really made me red, why was I not taken care of by the fat uncle in the first place?

As for the sunspot, he rented a second-hand house upstairs in our store, and he was usually responsible for watching the store and selling things, and from time to time he made a cameo appearance to partner with the fat uncle to make money.

One is a fat man with good eloquence, and the other is a sunspot with few hands, and the two of them really fooled a lot of fools when they sang and harmonized.

Xiao An is the one who reassures me the most.

Consciously learned, very sensible, usually take care of me, help me cook noodles and fried rice.

Having this kind of child in charge of the house, I really saved a lot of heart.

After Luo Nengjue and the master left Guiyang with Lafayette, they also got on a plane to Beijing, as if they were going to find an acquaintance to apply for a visa or a passport.

Anyway, the second time they contacted me, it was an international call.

"Leave us a pair of chopsticks during the New Year, and you will be drunk to death when the time comes." Little Buddha said this on the phone, his laughter was very cheerful, and he couldn't see what he used to look like at all.

I don't know if my life has passed like this, maybe this kind of day is also what I want.

Even a lot of people have disappeared from me.

I still feel that they are all by my side and no one has left, and it is because of this mentality that I smile so happily every day.

By the way, the weather is good today, so I decided to take Mr. Yujia up the mountain to see the scenery.

"Daddy!! Uncle Kuroko bullied me!! ”

"Meow !!"

Just when I was standing in front of the mirror in a daze, I only heard Xiao An running in with a crying voice, followed by a certain cat, if the cat also had a crying voice, I swear it rushed in tears.

I squatted down with a smile and stroked Xiao An's head with my familiar hand: "What's wrong?" Why did he bully you again? ”

"Meow Meow !!Meow

"Shut up, I don't understand what you're saying." I said helplessly.

"I just took the kitten to buy snacks and bought him a lot of fried fish on the street." Xiao An said aggrievedly: "As soon as I arrived downstairs, I was snatched away by Uncle Kuroko, he said that it is not good for children to eat so many snacks, and told me not to eat them, and then he ate them all in front of me."

Ooh! The sunspot gall is fat!

When I say this, don't think I'm going to retaliate, I just think that Kuroko has forgotten the cat's natural skills.

The last time he provoked the cat, he had more than a dozen marks on his body, not to mention that he didn't shed tears when he saw the coffin

Gentlemen, sincere gentlemen, it seems that he has made a decision from the bottom of his heart to fight the cats to the end.

"Let's go, Dad will take you up the mountain to play, and when we come back, we'll go eat delicious food, and don't take Uncle Kuroko there."

"Good!" Xiao An laughed: "Don't let Uncle Kuroko eat it!" Tell him to snatch my snacks! ”

I laughed and said yes repeatedly, and then Xiao An took my hand and led me out slowly.

Xiao An is very sensible, and so is the cat.

It seems that they all know that I am inconvenient without my eyes, one is playing the role of my crutch, and the other is playing the role of a guide cat.

Think about it carefully, usually let a cat lead the way with its teeth and claws in front, and when you cross the street, you can see the red light meowing and meowing, this kind of intelligent cat is really amazing.

In the afternoon, about four o'clock, we arrived at the mountain where the old man often took me.

It's the end of autumn, and the mountains must be full of fallen leaves.

As I walked up, listening to the sound of the leaves breaking under my feet, I felt extremely familiar.

At first, it was the old man who led me up the mountain, for fear that I would accidentally fall.

Now it is Xiao An who is leading me up the mountain, and he is afraid that I will accidentally fall.

It's really interesting to understand this thing about fate.

"Kuroko, where are we?"

"I don't know, this is a fork in the road, where are we going?"

"Go to the opening where there is a big pine tree, just walk along there, and if you see a big rock on the side of the road, stop, that's where we go."

"Cheng, you can walk slowly, Xiao An takes your dad by the hand, pay attention to yourself, don't fall."

"I know Uncle Kuroko~"

After a while, Kuroko beckoned us to stop, saying that we had arrived at our destination.

Under Xiao An's guidance, I slowly walked to the side of the road, carefully touched the boulder in front of me with my hand, and smiled from the bottom of my heart.

"Go to the mountains and play, and from here you go all the way up, and there is a field of wild fruits." I smiled, sat down on the edge of the boulder, took out a cigarette, lit one, and smoked slowly: "This season is the time to bear fruit, like a small orange, you can peel it and eat it, you go and taste it, it tastes good." ”

"Okay, I'll take Xiao An back to pick you up in a while."

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you here."

After Kuroko took Xiao An away, the cat returned to me and did not follow them to play in the mountains.

I only heard the cat bark softly, and then climbed onto my lap and quietly accompanied me in a daze.

The cigarette smoked very quickly, and after a while, it burned to the position of the cigarette holder, burning me a little.

"Old man, the scenery in this mountain is still the same, and it hasn't changed for decades." I said to myself.

I couldn't see the scene around me, but in my mind, it was still what I saw when I was a child.

Dead trees all over the mountains, sunsets full of red clouds, and

When a warm breeze slowly swept across my face, I took out the photo from my pocket, gently pinched the corner, raised my head and smiled without saying a word, as if looking at the sky that I couldn't see.

There are two photos, both of which I asked Uncle Fat to find for me.

One is a very old photo, just me and the old man, I was only five years old at the time.

And the other one was taken with Yujia when he graduated from college.

In the photo, we are all smiling brightly in the student style, which seems to be comparing with what I am now, and the youth in the photo who can't get old is really enviable.

It would be nice if everyone was here when we were still in college.

I blinked and slowly closed my eyes, enjoying the moment of tranquility.

I don't know how many people have remembered what Zuo Guangsi gave me, that is the sentence, the sky has eyes, and life is determined in a few days, but do good deeds, don't ask about the future.

Actually, I've always thought it was a good word, so I often scoffed at it.

But Zuo Guangsi told me that this is not what he meant, and I have to think for myself.

When you figure it out, when you understand what it means.

It wasn't until I sat back in the old man's place, smiling and enjoying the breeze, that I understood.

It turns out that a good word shouldn't read a good person's good.

It should be read well, that is, it is good to have a hobby.

After changing the pronunciation of this word, the meaning of the whole sentence has changed, and I naturally understand the meaning of Zuo Guangsi.

He wants me to live my own life in the last few decades, maybe it is a kind of happiness to be able to do what I like, so it should be

"Yujia"

I took the picture into my arms, as if I were hugging someone who had long since died.

"Brother Yi will raise you in the next life"

The wind blew slowly, and I remained motionless in my grip on the photo, smiling silently.

At this moment, the scenes of the past flashed in front of me one by one.

More than ten years ago, I went into the mountains to play with the old man

I just met Zhou Yujia in college

For the first time, he got involved in Luo Dahai's affairs

In Shenyang, I met the little Buddha for the first time

It seems that there is nothing to go back, and after experiencing it, it can only bear the good or bad ending.

If only time could be reversed to the beginning

I almost forgot.

There are no ifs in this world.

At this time, my mind always echoes a poem that Yujia used to recite in college.

It is the opening sentence of Nalan Xingde's "Magnolia".

Although the meaning is a little different from what I wanted to say, I feel that it is very appropriate to use that sentence at this moment.

Well.

If life is only as it first seems.
