They were a little impatient, but they all waited quietly, without making a sound. Even if he moved his body, he deliberately moved quietly, not like he wanted Xiaomi to wake up, but as if he was afraid of waking her up.

Women are still stronger than men at critical moments. Yan Yulan quietly left the hall, came back after half an hour, and said softly to Feng Junjia: "The rice is ready, people are iron and rice is steel, let's eat some food first." Yue Yun didn't eat either, and if you don't eat, he'll be embarrassed to eat. ”

Feng Junjia nodded and said, "Let's eat together." If Yue Yun has no choice, then there is no way. Let's start the funeral tomorrow. ”

So they left the hall together to eat. Xiaomi's younger brother didn't go, and was forcibly dragged away by Feng Junjia.

Several people finished their meals without saying a word. and returned to the hall.

Feng Junjia had just stepped into the hall. I choked on the smell of smoke in the room. He hurriedly fanned the front of his nose with his palm, coughed a few times, and said, "Why is there a miasma of smoke in the house?" Isn't it possible to get angry? ”

Yan Yulan and the others also choked and coughed.

My grandfather was very familiar with the smell of smoke. The smoke has a hint of aroma in it. This is the smell of smoke he once smelled in the blacksmith shop in Thrush Village. The blacksmith's iron tools all had this strange smell with them.

My grandfather walked to the front first, and sure enough, he saw a man with a slender face sitting next to the door panel of Xiaomi smoking a cigarette. Although he was sitting, it could be seen that he was much taller than the average person. He was dressed in a blue robe, like a private school teacher, holding a long pipe in his hand, and his mouth was on the mouth of the pipe. The smoke came out of his mouth and nostrils. Smoke billowed from him, as if his stomach was on fire.

My grandfather had heard the master of the blacksmith shop talk about this horse-faced man, and he had heard my father talk about this man before. So he hurriedly greeted: "So it's you?" Grandpa didn't know what to call him, so he had to ask.

The horse-faced robe looked up from the smoke. glanced at my grandfather, but he didn't see it, and sighed: "You are so old!" When your father's father died, he was younger than you. ”

"Why are you here?" Grandpa asked.

The horse-faced robe took a few more puffs of cigarette, exhaled a lot of smoke, and then replied quietly, "Can I not come?" Your father has been waiting for her on Huangquan Road for five or six years, and if she makes a mistake at this moment, what will she do? Obviously, like his grandfather, he didn't want Feng Junjia and them to know the truth of the matter.

"You're here......" Grandpa looked at Millet lying stiffly on the door panel.

The horse-faced robe nodded.

At this time, Feng Junjia and the others came closer. Feng Junjia asked, "May I ask who you are?" ”

My grandfather waved his hand and said, "He is an old friend of my father." ”

Feng Junjia was pleasantly surprised: "Could it be that Ma Laoxiu already knew about this day, so he had entrusted you to save our millet before he died?" ”

The horse-faced robe puffed out smoke as he said, "Sort of." With that, he raised his hand and made a gesture. A bird shadow flew in from outside and landed on his shoulder.

"Liang Shangxian?" Feng Junjia was surprised.

The bird was all too familiar to him. Although many years have passed, he still remembers. How could he not remember the culprit who made his wife conceive a child and lose a child?

The horse-faced robe rests his hands on his shoulders. Liang Shangxian jumped into his hand.

"It robbed you of the popularity of the head of your family, and after living for so many years, it's time to give it back to you." The horse-faced robe looked at Feng Junjia, and then at Liang Shangxian.

"Cuckoo-cuckoo-" Liang Shangxian shook his head and cried, as if in response to the words of the horse-faced robe.

"Give it back to us?" Feng Junjia coughed a few more times.

The horse-faced robe nodded, "Yes." ”

"How?" Feng Junjia asked.

The horse-faced robe stood up and took his pipe in his mouth, his head almost hitting the beam of the roof. Grandpa and Feng Junjia had to tilt their heads up to see his chin. His robes had dark lines on them, as if they were inlaid with gold leaf. He put his hand on Xiaomi's forehead and silently felt Xiaomi's body temperature.

Feng Junjia and Yan Yulan, as well as Xiaomi's younger brother, were very frightened when they saw this person who reached to the roof. But out of their love and concern for millet, they did not run away in fright, but swallowed their fear into their stomachs and watched every move of the horse-faced robe with trembling.

With a wave of his other hand, the horse-faced robe immediately soared into the air, flapped his wings a few times, and then swooped down like an eagle that had spotted its prey. It rushed towards Xiaomi, crashing into Xiaomi's mouth. Disappear from Xiaomi's mouth.

"Cuckoo-cuckoo-" Liang Shangxian's voice came from Xiaomi's body.

But the sound grew quieter and quieter, as if it was getting farther and farther away. It seems that Xiaomi's body is another boundless space, and Liang Shangxian is flying from Xiaomi's mouth to infinity.

Gradually, Liang Shangxian's voice disappeared.

The horse-faced robe sat down, took out the pipe with one hand, and knocked on the door panel of the millet. Knock knock, as if he was going to knock on the door that had been removed.

Grandpa and the others quietly watched everything the horse-faced robe did, and did not dare to speak to disturb him.

After knocking on the door, the horse-faced robe held the door panel with one hand and put his ear to the door, as if to listen to the footsteps of someone behind the door, whether someone was coming to open the door for him.

When he leaned over the door panel and listened, his expression was unusually serious. So much so that the hearts of grandfather and Feng Junjia also hung up, and they became as serious as horse-faced robes, as if the door panel would be lifted open by a force below in the next moment, and then something would come out from under the door panel.

Grandpa was still thinking about that Liang Shangxian in his heart. Grandpa knew that it did carry a lot of popularity and awe. It was stolen. When this Liang Shangxian got into Xiaomi's mouth, my grandfather remembered a monster called "Entering the Sparrow" that my grandfather once said. Grandpa said that he heard it from Heliantian when he was in Baoding, and Heliantian heard about this monster when he was studying in Japan. This kind of infusion finch lives in the human body, and sometimes flies out of the human body. Some people say that the finch will eat the internal organs of the human body, and will only fly out of the human body when it is empty. Some people also say that the inner finch only lives in the human body and depends on people for their lives.

Grandpa thought to himself, this Liang Shangxian may have become an inner finch, it should not eat the internal organs of millet, and it should depend on millet for its life.

The horse-faced robe listened for a moment, his brow furrowed, and he didn't seem to hear any noise behind the door. He shoved his pipe into his mouth and took a few sharp puffs. The smoke in the room grew thicker.

He pulled the pipe out of his mouth and knocked it on the door a few more times. This time he knocked harder, and the door panel was so shaken that he almost jumped up.

When he was done, he put his ear over again.

As soon as his ears were touched, the door panel seemed to have been kicked from underneath, and the door panel jumped up and fell heavily.

Feng Junjia and the others were startled, and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Millet was also bounced up by this violent shock, and then landed on the door panel.

"Oops......"

A voice rang out.

Everyone froze, including the horse-faced robe, as if he only knew how to knock on the door, and he didn't expect the door to really react.

Xiaomi squirmed on the door panel, then slowly moved her hand to the back of her head and rubbed it. The violent shaking just now caused her head to hit the door panel hard.

The first to react was Yan Yulan. She yelled "Xiaomi, my son", and then pounced on Xiaomi. Immediately, Feng Junjia pounced, and then Xiaomi's younger brother walked over and hugged the family.

The horse-faced robe smiled cheerfully when he saw them hugging each other.

Grandpa whispered to the horse-faced robe, "Thank you." ”

The horse-faced robe asked, "What are you thanking me for?" ”

Grandpa said, "Thank you for bringing unexpected happiness to their family." ”

The smile on the face of the horse-faced robe disappeared, and he asked, "Are you thanking me for this?" ”

Grandpa was stunned for a moment and asked, "Then...... So what should I thank you for? ”

The horse-faced robe rose from his chair and walked to the door of the hall, then bent down and stretched his head out of the doorway with great difficulty, and then squeezed his body out of it. Grandpa followed him.

Feng Junjia's family was still immersed in the huge surprise of Xiaomi's lost recovery, and did not notice that the horse-faced robe walked outside the gate.

The horse-faced robe looked back at the few people hugging each other in the room, and said, "If it's a thank you for this, then there's really no need to thank you." Joys and sorrows, life and death, ups and downs, these are the normal state of life. Rejoice now, and grieve later. Between gains and losses, there is actually nothing to rejoice and nothing to be sad about. If you get it, you still lose it, and that's the case with everything. So don't rejoice, and don't thank me. "Vertical and remarkable.

Grandpa said: "Didn't you smile when you saw their surprise just now?" Don't you feel happy and relieved for them? If, as you said, why did you come to save Xiaomi? ”

The horse-faced robe smiled again and said, "I smiled not because their family was reunited, but because I thought that your father could finally set foot on Huangquan Road with Xiaomi, go there together, reincarnate together, and continue the frontier." I don't want to be happy or sad for anyone else. Life in the world is like a white horse passing through a gap, like a mayfly in a dream, just in an instant. What if you gain it, and what if you lose it? ”

My grandfather couldn't find a rebuttal for a while.

"The vast majority of people are born without any memory, and they don't take any memory with them when they die, although they have a life and a lifetime, reincarnation, although they say that they have a past life and this life, this life and the next life, in fact, he in the previous life has broken off contact with him in this life, even if the effect of this life is from the cause of the previous life, but it is like two unrelated strangers, just like the previous play and the next play on the stage." The horse-faced robe glanced back again, "The joys and sorrows on the stage are all false and ethereal, why should I be sad and happy for them?" ”
