Yuxin frowned at me, I waved at her and leaned over to my phone.

"Hello? Uncle Ding. ”

"Hey, I'm here, girl..."

I swallowed my spit, and my heart said, Is my voice so thin? It's so magnetic, you actually call me girl...

I cleared my throat, lowered my voice and said, "Uncle, it's me." ”

"Huh? I know it's you, girl..."

I almost didn't spray a mouthful of blood on my phone, Yuxin covered her mouth and forced a smile, and her face turned red.

"Uncle, it's me!" I said loudly.

On the phone, the old man of Ding Ziguo said, "It turned out to be a young man..."

I let out a long breath.

"Look, my cell phone signal isn't very good..."

"Well, uncle, didn't you ask Uncle Ding Zimin, how did he know your number?"

"I was so shocked that I didn't even react to ask, he said he wanted to come and see me, and then hung up the phone."

"Didn't say anything else?" I asked with a frown.

"Nope."

"Then you called us, did you want us to help you do something?"

"No, I'm just asking you if you gave him my number."

"No, we don't have your phone number."

"Oh, that's right."

"Hmm."

"Hello? What did you say? ”

"What?" I was stunned.

The old man of Ding Ziguo 'heyed' twice, and the 'doodoo' was disconnected.

"The old man who sells newspapers, why did he suddenly remember to come over to see his brother?" Yuxin said.

I pondered for a moment, and after a moment, said, "I think it's weird... That's it, anyway, we have nothing to do when we go back to the city, as for finding the 'Fan Tongtian', there is that small village. Let's go to Dingzi Country again. ”

With that, I got up and walked out.

"Hey, Miss Leng, don't you even want a coat?" Yu Xin said.

I picked up my coat and glared at her. Yuxin stuck out her tongue at me and grimaced, "Leng girl, haha..."

Out of the small restaurant, we drove to the street of the alley where Ding Ziguo lived, parked the car on the side of the road, and we got into the alley. The alley was as gloomy and deserted as yesterday, and the old man Ding Ziguo told us that he had moved here with his wife to avoid the 'Fan Tongtian'. It's a good place to live in this cold and secluded alley, which is really hard for outsiders to find.

When I came to the old man's door, I knocked on the knocker.

"Who?"

"We."

"Oh, you guys come here, let's go, sit at home." The old man opened the door and beckoned to us.

When we came to the house, the old man Ding Ziguo was going to make tea for us again.

"No need, uncle." I hurriedly said, "We're not thirsty, is Uncle Ding Zimin's phone on your landline or on your mobile phone?" ”

"Cell phone."

"Can you show me the number?"

The old man pulled open the drawer and pulled out a mobile phone, "I don't know how to use this stuff very well..."

I took it and flipped through the call logs, except for the two who called '1860' (which had not been upgraded at the time), there was only one call, the date was today, 12 o'clock at noon, and the number was 'no number'.

"No number..."I frowned and looked at Yuxin.

"That's right, his number is really weird, I said call him, but it can't get through..."Ding Ziguo muttered and shook his head.

I bit my lip and asked, "Uncle, what time did he say to come?" ”

"I didn't say a few points, he said to take a taxi and let me go out of town to wait for him."

"That..."I stared at Ding Ziguo and asked slowly, "Do you want to see him?" ”

The old man Ding Ziguo was stunned by my question, his lips squirmed a few times, and he drooped his head.

"Don't you want to see him?" I asked aggressively.

Ding Ziguo didn't speak.

"Just because your son stumbled and fell to his death in the kindergarten back then, you resent him, and you don't even recognize this brother, right?"

The green tendons on Ding Ziguo's neck stirred a few times, raised his head, glared at him and said, "It's him!" If he hadn't been careless, how could my son have fallen to his death?! ”

I snorted, "What about his legs?" He broke his leg because he saved your son, and the two of you watched him have no money for treatment, and he went to the doctor everywhere, and he didn't care, and finally led to the amputation, who did he blame? ”

The old man Ding Ziguo's eyes darkened, the flesh on his face twitched a few times, turned around and walked to the window, looked out of the window blankly, and after a while, asked faintly, what time is it? Yu Xin looked at the time and told him.

"The people should be almost there, I'll go... I'll pick him up. ”

I sighed, "Let's go, uncle, let's go with you, we'll be fine anyway." ”

Coming to the street, the three of them got into the car, Yuxin started the car all the way north, and we came to the entrance of the town.

"Just wait here." Ding Ziguo said.

Pulling over to the side of the road, we waited quietly, and from this place we could see the canal embankment through the car window, like an undulating wall, hidden in the woods to the north. Thinking of the 'ghost domain' under the riverbed, I still have lingering palpitations at the moment, if Yuxin and I continue to stay in this county tonight, I don't know if there will be dead ghosts looking for us... It doesn't matter if I find them, because if those dead ghosts dare to come, I will dare to fight them...

Thinking like this, time passed little by little, and from time to time a taxi passed by us.

"Why haven't you yet?" The old man Ding Ziguo muttered.

Suddenly, a car drove past us, and the old man let out a 'huh'.

"What's wrong?" I looked back, and the car was already far away.

"Nothing." The old man shook his head.

Gradually, the setting sun was setting, casting the shadows of the trees on the road coldly, looking mottled.

"You two should just go." Ding Ziguo said.

"What about you, uncle?" I asked.

"I'll wait."

I glanced outside and said, "It's too cold, people can't stand it for a long time, not to mention that you are still old, let's wait with you, it's warm in the car." ”

"Thank you then." The old man said.

"You're welcome."

It was finally dark, and there were fewer cars on the road, and it took a long time to pass one. Yuxin got out of the car and went back to town to buy dinner and a bottle of wine. For northerners, drinking some liquor at night in winter is easy to resist the cold. After eating and drinking, the old man Ding Zimin who sold newspapers has not yet come.

"Something must have happened on the way, right?" Ding Ziguo muttered.

"Uncle."

"Huh?"

"Tell me when your brother Ding Zimin was born."

The old man scratched his head and thought about it, "I haven't been in touch with him for decades, I can't even remember..."

I shook my head and smiled wryly, "Then keep waiting." ”

As the night deepened, the wind blew outside, and it grew stronger, and in the darkness, we saw the bare poplar trees on both sides of the road, which from time to time leaned towards us, as if bowing. The embankment in the distance to the east of the road was no longer visible, and it was dark. Reaching out and touching the bag containing the magic weapon, I was sure that Yuxin put one hand on the bag like me, yawned with each other, and it didn't take long for both of them to fall asleep.

I slept very lightly, and I don't know how long I slept, but I heard Ding Ziguo say that a car is coming, a car is coming. Startled, Yuxin and I woke up at the same time.

"Where are the cars?" I asked.

"There, isn't that a car?" The old man lay next to me, leaning on his chair and pointing ahead.

I rubbed my eyes vigorously and looked intently, only to see that in the distance in the darkness in front of me, sure enough, there was a car, without even turning on the headlights, slowly driving towards us.

"I hope my brother is in the car." The old man Ding Ziguo clenched his fists nervously.

I nodded, noncommittal, frowning at the car, always feeling that something was strange.

"Yuxin, turn on the headlights." I said.

"Hmm... Hey? ”

"What, is the light broken?"

"I don't know, it's weird, why doesn't it light up..."

"Let's see if the windows can be lowered."

"Hmm..."

The windows can be lowered, and as the windows slowly fall, the cold wind pours into the car. The old man Ding Ziguo poked his head out of the window and shouted to the car, "People, people, is it you?" … His voice mingled with the sound of the wind, sounding staccato ... There was no response, the lights of the car were still not on, maintaining the same speed, driving little by little...

When we came to a position parallel to our car, about two or three meters away, the car stopped.

"Ah Leng, what's wrong with this car... Why is it so weird? Yuxin said.

I hunched over and stared wide-eyed, and saw that the skin of the car seemed to be painted with a layer of paint. In addition, the window glass seems to be covered with a layer of moisture, which looks like a cloudy transparency... When I looked at it again, my head suddenly became bigger, and it was clearly a paper car! A car made of paper! … The so-called glass is actually a piece of plastic sheeting...

"Fuck me!"

I gasped and cursed. Yuxin also saw it clearly, and grabbed my arm with an 'ah'.

The paper cart just stopped there, 'hula-la' in the wind...

Suddenly, the back door of our car slammed open, and the old man Ding Ziguo wrapped himself in clothes and walked out of the car.

"Uncle, what are you doing?!" I shouted.

The old man didn't answer, but walked straight towards the 'car', and when he came to the 'car door', the old man stopped.

"Yuxin, I'll go down and take a look." I gritted my teeth and said.

"You have to be careful."

I nodded, picked up the bag containing the device, opened the door, and jumped out. As soon as my feet hit the ground, I heard a 'squeak' sound, and when I followed the sound, I saw that the 'door' of the paper car was open. Before I could react to what was going on, the old man Ding Ziguo 'rubbed' into the car. Then, the 'door' slammed shut, and the paper cart drove backwards down the road to the north...

I can't believe what happened in front of me, the old man Ding Ziguo, was picked up by a paper car? … When I reacted, I yelled and chased after the car. When the paper cart came, it was windy and slow, but at the moment it was against the wind, and it was still walking backwards, running fast. Seeing that it was getting farther and farther away, I stopped, turned around and ran back into the car.

"Yuxin, drive, let's chase!"
