At the mouth of the silent alley, the soldiers who used to be in the same military camp gathered again, Yan Chengfu's heart stirred up a burst of memories of the past, Qiu Shaoqing looked at Yan Chengfu directly, and didn't say a word, maybe he didn't know how to say it,

"You guy, why did you live here," Yan Chengfu stepped forward and grabbed the stunned Qiu Shaoqing, looking at the sad Qiu Shaoqing, he finally felt guilty in his heart, "It's okay, it's good here," Qiu Shaoqing burst into tears and laughed, and quickly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hands,

He pointed to the courtyard around the corner and said, "I live here, and the old people here are very good to me," and after pushing the door open, there were some water tanks in the yard, and the old kitchen had been blackened with smoke,

Surrounded by a dilapidated landscape, the smell here is mixed with a foul smell, perhaps the house is too old, and it will inevitably accumulate some strange smells.

"Let's go to the house and talk," Qiu Shaoqing looked at us standing in this courtyard, always felt a little awkward, so he got up and led us to the second floor of the house to sit for a while, every time you step on the ancient corridor, you can feel a dull sound, as if there will be a danger of stepping on the air at any time.

"This is it," Qiu Shaoqing gently pushed the door open, there were a few rays of light in the dim room, and the whole room was almost closed, and the windows and the glass on the door were pasted with newspapers, leaving a little gap for direct sunlight to enter,

Qiu Shaoqing quickly patted the dust on the stool and moved it in front of Yan Chengfu and me, I casually looked at the environment of the room, the stucco on the wall had fallen off several large pieces, and there was only a single bed and a moldy table in the empty room.

"Shaoqing, what happened that night," after Yan Chengfu sat down, he was still thinking about what happened that night, what happened to Qiu Shaoqing after he and himself separated,

"After you left that night, I was knocked unconscious, and when I woke up, I saw Xiao Yan appear, and he told me that if I dared to say a word, I would kill my whole family, and I didn't dare to tell the truth because I was afraid," Qiu Shaoqing recalled the situation that night.

In the dark night, not long after Yan Chengfu left, the wind in the deep mountains blew more violently, and there was an unusual treacherous sound wafting in the woods, floating far and near, and there was a desolate scene in the mountains.

The strange sound was like a cat's bark, and it was like the cry of an unjust woman, Qiu Shaoqing looked down the mountain, there was still a long way to go, and he promised Yan Chengfu to wait here, the injury under his feet seemed to be much lighter, but he never dared to move,

Afraid of alarming the ghosts in the mountains, he had to hug his whole body more tightly, the haunted house in the deep mountains had gradually calmed down, and he couldn't hear Xiao Yan's ghost-like evil laughter, and his heart calmed down a little.

Suddenly, a cold ghost wind drifted over his head, and he felt as if a black shadow flashed behind him, and he trembled and hugged his legs tighter, and his teeth couldn't help but shiver.

He swallowed the saliva in his throat and wanted to turn around to look at the weirdness behind him, but the moment he turned his head, the black shadow slammed and knocked him unconscious.

Qiu Shaoqing only felt that his brain was a little confused, and there was a feeling of soreness in his neck, he looked at the surrounding scene, this place was a bit like the office of the leader in the barracks, and his heart was shocked, "Could it be that he was saved by the rich brother," Qiu Shaoqing was in doubt, and a familiar figure appeared in front of him.

Qiu Shaoqing's eyes widened, and his hands kept rubbing, yes, the person he saw turned out to be Xiao Yan who was tied up,

Qiu Shaoqing, who was stunned, opened his mouth wide, pointed his hand at Xiao Yan, but his throat couldn't shout, Xiao Yan looked at Qiu Shaoqing on the ground coldly, it was a disdainful look,

Xiao Yan finally spoke: "Wait a minute, you just need to say that you don't know, if you dare to talk more, I will let your parents in your hometown be buried with you," he unceremoniously threatened Qiu Shaoqing, this kind of timid and afraid person, he even felt that it was a waste of time to say a few more words.

In the end, the picture of the chief of staff forcing a confession was staged, and during the whole process, because Qiu Shaoqing was too timid and afraid, he never told the real situation in the haunted house that he would go out, and finally led to Yan Chengfu being admitted to the hospital.

Soon after this incident, due to the lack of Yan Chengfu as a backer, those veterans took the opportunity to bully him, and he not only had to help the veterans prepare the morning toiletries after morning exercises, but also to clean the men's toilet.

In the face of the verbal cynicism and physical destruction of the veterans around him, he had a very hard life, whenever the night came, he had an urge to commit suicide, and his roommates in the dormitory heard him sobbing many times, so he made a small report to the superiors.

And Xiao Yan did not forget to add oil and vinegar to the back, Qiu Shaoqing could not escape Xiao Yan's poisonous hands in the end, and at the instigation of Xiao Yan, the chief of staff decided to send him home.

Qiu Shaoqing, who was kicked out of the barracks, was disappointed for a while, if he let his parents know that he was kicked out of the barracks, it would be a lot of humiliation, he didn't have the courage to go home at all, so he had to spend his remaining savings and rent it in this remote place.

During the day, he has to rush out to find a job, and at night he will return here alone to rest, fortunately, the uncles and aunts here are very good, usually the family will call him to eat, and the days are okay.

Qiu Shaoqing recalled what happened during this time, and felt extremely bitter in his heart, Yan Chengfu couldn't help but sigh with emotion, thinking back to the beginning, if he hadn't dragged Qiu Shaoqing and them to the mountains, maybe his brother would not have disappeared for no reason.

And Qiu Shaoqing doesn't have to stay in this kind of dilapidated place to survive, "Shaoqing, I think you better go home quickly, after all, the family will still worry about you," Yan Chengfu was a little worried about his future life, and wanted to persuade him to go home as soon as possible, so as not to cause any more trouble.

After talking for a while, Qiu Shaoqing still refused to go home, there seemed to be other things in his heart, there was a sound of an excavator outside from time to time, and after looking at the time, it was not early, Yan Chengfu and I stood up and were about to leave here.

Qiu Shaoqing looked at Yan Chengfu, who was about to leave, and stopped talking, and kept struggling in his heart for a few points, and finally he mustered up the courage,

"You guys? Is it tracking down Xiao Yan's evidence? Just after I stepped out of the door, Qiu Shaoqing shouted at Yan Chengfu, and Yan Chengfu immediately stopped and turned to look at Qiu Shaoqing,

Yan Chengfu was a little unspeakable, in the face of this action, he was not very sure, and he didn't want to let Qiu Shaoqing wade into this troubled water again, after hesitating, he still didn't reveal a trace of tone,

Qiu Shaoqing was obviously a little anxious, and just wanted to open his mouth to say something but stopped, "Say whatever you want, I think we will help you," Looking at Qiu Shaoqing's awkward appearance, I couldn't bear it, so I took the words and asked,

"If you are following clues, please be sure to bring me with you," Qiu Shaoqing saluted towards the door, his attitude was very sincere, after being kicked out of the barracks, he seemed to have become a little manly,

"No, Shaoqing, I can't pull you into the water anymore," Yan Chengfu's attitude was a little resolute, he had already harmed others once, and he was even less sure that he would be able to protect Qiu Shaoqing from being hurt again.

The inferior environment around me made me think that he wouldn't have any better results staying here, "I think it's better to bring him with you, after all, the food and accommodation will be better than here, maybe he can also help some," I persuaded him, although Yan Chengfu was a little embarrassed, but considering the environment here, he still chose to let him join us.
