Chapter 8 The Homeland Moves to the Strange Relatives and Goes to the Old Border at Night on Gu's Mountain

The road is long, the wheels are rolling, carrying the mood of missing relatives to the long-lost homeland, it has been two full days since the Ji family, looking at Ji Rongrong's tired expression, I can't bear it, I asked her to stop and rest a few times, she smiled sweetly and said it doesn't matter, sleep well at night, you can meet your parents a little earlier when you arrive early, of course, such a touching thing has to be seen sooner to be interesting.

Kind people always think about others, the grace of a drop of water has been reciprocated, how can I repay the kindness of the Ji family's father and daughter? A trace of emotion lingers in my heart, I can't untie it, it's chaotic, but we're really getting there, and she can rest well when she arrives at my house.

After a gallop all the way, before the sun goes down, we finally arrived, got off the station in this land of day and night thoughts, everything is like a world away, there is no adobe house in memory, there is no road between the villages, there is no familiar smile of the villagers, and there is no fruit forest in the south of the village.

High-rise buildings rise from the ground, cars shuttle by, unfamiliar faces form a flow of people, and smooth streets are intertwined vertically and horizontally, this is no longer the hometown I am familiar with, no longer the small Qingyao Village, under the pace of modernization, it has become Yuntong Economic and Trade Development Zone.

Where is my home, I am standing in the streets, wandering, lost, if I could come back sooner, I would not face this strange city, I would not have found my way home.

Ji Rongrong looked at my lost expression, walked over and patted me on the shoulder and comforted: "Okay, why are you so sad, it's just a big change here, because it's not difficult to find them, and it's not good to be like this now?" At least your parents are doing well. ”

Looking at Ji Rongrong, who looked tired, I rubbed my eyes that were a little red, put away my lost emotions, and nodded: "Am I a little stupid, in fact, as long as they live well, even if they never see each other, it's nothing." ”

Seeing that I no longer looked depressed, Ji Rongrong took out her mobile phone and dialed Uncle Ji, and told me about the situation here, Uncle Ji asked her not to go back first, but to help me get things done here and then go back, Ji Rongrong agreed and hung up the phone.

Stayed in the hotel for one night at night, and the next day Ji Rongrong took me to get a bank card first, and remitted all the 300,000 yuan in the check into the card, and then we went to the street office and the Civil Affairs Bureau to run a big circle to find the whereabouts of the previous villagers, but unfortunately I didn't find too many useful clues, but I just knew that the land here was completely bought out, and the villagers moved away one after another after getting a lot of money, and there is no detailed record of where they moved, but I heard that two households finally moved back, But I don't know exactly where I live, so I can only find it slowly.

Although I didn't find any substantive clues that day, and my mood was a little low, I also knew that my parents got a lot of money, and life would not be as difficult as before, not to mention that as long as I worked hard to find it, I would find it one day.

In the next two days, Ji Rongrong and I searched and asked in a community and a community, trying to find the two families who moved back here, but in the end we were still looking for a needle in a haystack and found nothing.

From the time I came back from Ji's house to now, Ji Rongrong has been with me for three days, counting the two days on the road, I haven't had a good rest for five days, watching her run around with me every day, and after returning to the hotel, I can't take care of eating and falling asleep, the shame in my heart is increasing day by day, I really don't want to see her tired anymore, on the sixth day I refused her kindness to continue to help, let her rest well, play a few days and go home.

Ji Rongrong was very unhappy, saying that I had just come down the mountain, I didn't understand anything, many places needed her help, I knew she was kind, but I was ashamed of it, we just met in Pingshui, even if there was a life-saving grace on the slope of the wild grave, Uncle Ji paid 300,000 yuan to pay back all that should be repaid, I thought about it and said: "You have helped me a lot, I really appreciate you, finding someone is not an overnight thing, I plan to find a place to live first, and then go to find it slowly, don't worry about me, Relax and get some rest.

Ji Rongrong was silent for a while before you said: "What you said is the same, I was in a bit of a hurry, the company has been calling to urge me to go back for the past two days, I won't bother you here, clean up, I'll go back tonight, and I'll come to see you when my sister has time." ”

In the afternoon, Ji Rongrong said that she had something to do and went out by herself, and when she came back, she said that she helped me rent a house, and then she drove our things over, the house was three bedrooms and one living room, fully furnished, and the decoration was also good, but the rent was a little expensive, three thousand a month, she said that I was his younger brother, and I couldn't live too shabby, and I helped me prepay the rent for three years, I want to give her money, you don't want it, saying that it is a family that is so rusty.

I sent her to the airport in the evening, Ji Rongrong gave me a hug with some reluctance, told me to take care of myself, eat on time every day, and leave the car for me, I have time to get a driver's license, and it is more convenient to go out, I have always nodded and agreed.

Watching her walk into the waiting room alone, my heart was suddenly empty, people are creatures that live in groups, I don't feel anything when I'm together, I feel lost when I'm separated, it turns out that I haven't adapted to loneliness.

Sending Ji Rongrong away to live alone seemed boring, I wandered around like an unemployed vagrant every day, hoping to meet one or two people from the village before, but unfortunately in the end they were all useless, and I went to find his old comrades-in-arms according to the address given by the master.

It is a relatively old community, which is the kind of building with red bricks exposed on the exterior wall, I knocked on the outside of 202 for a long time and no one came out, but an old woman next door opened the door and told me that the people of the old Wei family have been back for a long time, if you have something to leave a phone on the door, and wait for someone to call you back, no way I had to borrow a brush with my grandmother to leave my phone number on his door, and when I returned the brush, my grandmother looked at me a little stunned, I don't know what I was thinking.

Holding the psychology of luck, after swaying for half a month, I sat alone on the pedestrian chair on the side of the street and looked at the distant aunt mountain in a daze, there is no change in the aunt mountain, or the way in the childhood memory, when I was a child, because I ran to the mountain to play, I also had a strange disease, so as to form a master-apprentice relationship with the master, the master said that it was my calamity, he did not help me to resolve, just a fate, delayed, if he shot, this calamity has passed, there will be another calamity, the bell still needs to be tied to people, In the end, I still need to solve it myself.

Thinking of this fateful word, I can't help but want to laugh, we cultivators talk about a fateful word in everything, and I am a little too persistent, too deep obsession is a demonic obstacle, like my behavior of hitting the luck is indeed a bit outrageous, the fate of the time will naturally meet, the fate has not arrived, even if it is walking on the same street, it will pass by, I will no longer force these to figure it out, although there is still some loss in my heart, but I will not let myself be in a state of dissociation all the time.

I went to buy dozens of meters of rope, a few bottles of mineral water, more than a dozen packs of instant noodles, two flashlights, a folding shovel, packaged with a small back, not to mention, the current things are really much better than in the past, the shovel saves place, and the rope has no weight, the boss said that it is a composite nylon rope, which looks light and thin, and the quality is much stronger than hemp rope.

After buying something, I went home to rest, at night, I took advantage of the night to quietly touch the aunt mountain, the mountain road in the night is a little difficult to walk, I walked slowly with a flashlight, this is also no way, in the broad daylight on the mountain digging and shaving, let others see and think I am a tomb robber, if you report to the police again it will be a big trouble.

Fortunately, Guma Mountain is not very high, so walk slowly, four hours I went up to the top of the mountain, looked at the table below is already more than one o'clock at night, the old tree and boulder on the top of the mountain are still there, I sighed and patted the thick trunk of the old tree, I don't know how the playmates of the hour are now, whether they are still in school, or have already started a family, sighed and stepped on the big stone plate and sat down, took out the compass from his arms and faced the head of the Beidou in the night sky, and Ziwei Star began to check the position.

The five elements of crape myrtle star belong to the earth, the sovereignty is powerful, I want to find a burial place for a person who wants to be in power after death, after some proofreading I determined the direction, it is the southwest, I got up and held the compass and walked down the mountain 800 steps, the place only walked 800 steps, one is because the direction of the southwest in the Fuxi gossip Kun belongs to the Wei hexagram, take eight of them and use, the second is the Kun hexagram for the soul hexagram, the place where people die and return, and then the Kun hexagram also represents the meaning of the mother or woman, and there are also women who say, you can guess it by a single Kun word, Buried in this mountain is supposed to be an elderly woman.

In this way, it seems that the legend of the old fairy in the village is not groundless, there is some basis, to determine the general direction, I took off the backpack, took out the folding shovel and began to dig tentatively, did not dig a few times on the rock, and changed two places to dig, the results are not very good, is it that I found the wrong place? I put down my shovel, grabbed a bottle of water, and began to think as I drank it.

If I found the wrong place, when I was at the top of the mountain, the positioning of the compass was not wrong, could it be that my pace was wrong and there was a difference? But even some differences shouldn't be so big, I just dug it at five meters apart, and the passage as a burial chamber is not too small.

I looked up at the old tree on the top of the mountain, not too far away, ready to go up to reposition once, but this look I did understand, it turned out that the road I came down is not a road, but the road surface wants to be smoother, but it is not easy to walk, can not take a big stride, all the way down is actually not far from the top of the mountain, such a height is not able to build a tomb, so this tomb must be dug from top to bottom, I have just been digging in parallel, of course will not find the right place, this is a way to prevent theft.

I drank more than half a bottle of water in one go, got up and threw off my arms and returned to the place where I first digg, riveting enough strength to dig diagonally down, this time it was much easier, it was all some gravel and soil, that is, the quality of this shovel was too pitiful, and there was no sense of sharpness when digging down more than ten meters, not to mention how hard it was to use a spade and a spade.
