Lu Jiang got off work early in the morning when he received a call from a police station in a remote town thousands of miles away.

"Do you know Zhuyou?"

Friends?

Of course, Lu Jiang knows Zhuyou.

He and Zhu You are alumni, Zhu You is two years older than him, and the two have a good relationship.

When Lu Jiang graduated and just worked, he had no money, and he was embarrassed to ask his parents, so he went to Zhuyou if he had no place to live.

He stayed with Zhuyou for a month. I didn't move out until I received my salary and rented a house.

Later, Zhu You changed careers and started freelancing, running all over the world.

Lu Jiang is still doing his old job, a code farmer.

Although the two are not in the same industry, every time Zhu Friends come back from other places, they will get together and talk about each other's recent situation.

This will suddenly receive a call from the police station, Lu Jiang was a little confused and surprised.

"I know Zhuyou, I'm his friend. What's wrong with him?"

"Picking quarrels and provoking trouble, disrupting public order. Since you're his friend, come over and take care of his business. ”

"How could he ......"

"You write down the address and come over as soon as possible. ”

Lu Jiang mechanically wrote down the address and contact number. Looking at the phone with a black screen, I still can't get back to my senses.

How could I wish you to make a mistake. Someone like him, if it's not a particularly serious matter, won't trouble the police uncle.

Lu Jiang settled down and checked the phone number first.

The phone call to him was indeed that of a police station in a remote area. It's not a scammer who lies that the police are scamming money.

After confirming that the call was from the police station, Lu Jiang went to the circle of friends to ask again.

Everyone is gossiping, and they don't know where Zhuyou has gone. I only know that this time he is running a tourist route to the northwest, and the rest is not clear.

Lu Jiang looked at Zhu You's Weibo again.

Zhu You's Weibo name is three, three, two, two, two, real-name authentication. The latest Weibo post was already a week ago. Looking at the photo style, it is indeed to the northwest zone.

Lu Jiang wiped his face, thought about it for two minutes, first looked for a company to ask for leave, then booked a ticket online, and took the nearest flight to the northwest.

After getting off the plane, I turned to the bus, then the minibus, and then the bus, and finally came to the mountain town that was not marked on the map.

"You're a friend of Zhuyou, go pay the money first, and then sign here. After a meeting, I persuaded him well, don't think about it when you are young. ”

Can't think of it?

Lu Jiang felt that he had heard the funniest joke of the year.

Zhu You is the person with the most enthusiasm and passion for life among all the people he knows. It is possible to say that others can't think of it themselves, and if you can't think of it, what can't he think of.

has a house, a car and spare money, turns his hobby into a job, lives a colorful life every day, and runs all over the great rivers and mountains of the motherland. In such a life, there is nothing to think about.

Lu Jiang was very confused, and after waiting for an hour, he finally saw Zhuyou.

Zhu You has lost weight, at least two laps.

His body, which used to be strong, now looks weak, as if a gust of wind can blow him down.

What surprised Lu Jiang the most was Zhu You's eyes, which were particularly panicked, and his eyes were dripping and rolling, revealing nervousness.

"Brother Zhu, are you okay?" Lu Jiang stepped forward and patted the other party's shoulder.

Zhu You seemed to be frightened, and trembled all over, "Lu, Lu Jiang." ”

"Brother Zhu, it's me. Let's go, let's find a place to take a shower first, and go to bad luck. Then find a place to eat. ”

Zhu You breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Let's go quickly, get out of here." My camera?"

"The camera is here, and so is the fanny pack. ”

Lu Jiang took Zhuyou and took the last bus to the county seat.

When I arrived in the county seat, I found the best local hotel and opened a room, and let Zhuyou take a bath first.

When Zhuyou was taking a bath, Chen Yumeng called Lu Jiang and asked when Lu Jiang would return to Haishi.

Lu Jiang said: "I just received Brother Zhu, let's take a look at the situation first." ”

"You'll be back early. How much money do you have to deduct for this leave? ”

Lu Jiang frowned, not very happy, "I know, don't worry about it." I'll talk about it when I get back. ”

"Don't hang up yet. Let me ask you, how much did it cost you to bail Zhuyou?"

Lu Jiang looked irritated, "Don't mention the money, okay?" I said, I'll talk about it when I go back." Okay, that's it, I'm hanging. ”

After saying that, he simply hung up the phone.

Chen Yumeng, who was thousands of miles away, was so angry that his face changed greatly, and he scolded Lu Jiang in his heart.

Zhu You came out of the shower and looked a lot better.

Lu Jiang handed over a cigarette, "Brother Zhu smokes." ”

Zhu You nodded, lit the cigarette, and smoked violently.

Lu Jiang finished smoking a cigarette and then smoked a second one. He looked at Zhu You, as if he had scratched a cat's paw.

"Brother Zhu, the police said that you picked quarrels and provoked troubles and disrupted social order. What the hell is going on, can you tell me about it?"

I wish you a misty look and wander the world. It took three or four cigarettes in a row to pull his sanity back.

He stared at Lu Jiang and asked, "Do you believe that there are ghosts in this world?"

Lu Jiang pondered for a moment before he said, "If it was before, I would definitely not believe it." Now, I think anything is possible. ”

"Because of the revival of the aura?"

Lu Jiang nodded, "Yes, because of the revival of aura." ”

Zhu You grabbed his head fiercely, looking irritable and slightly frightened, "I said I saw a ghost, do you believe it?"

Lu Jiang hesitated for a few seconds before nodding, "I believe it." ”

"Why do you believe it?"

"Because you are Brother Zhu, I believe you will not joke about this kind of thing. ”

For the first time in so many days, Zhu You laughed out loud and patted Lu Jiang on the shoulder, "Thank you, thank you!"

These two thanks are full of thousands of words, touching and grateful. I wish you a sense of relief, as if you have been reborn.

Lu Jiang laughed, "Brothers, Brother Zhu doesn't have to be so polite. ”

Zhu You also laughed, "Do you want to know what happened to me?"

Lu Jiang nodded, of course he wanted to know. He had been pondering this since he came. With the temper of wishing friends, he has always been kind to others. What kind of thing is it, so that he wants to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, and he is still locked up at the police station.

Zhu You smoked a cigarette, spit out a puff of smoke rings, and said, "This has to start with the bus into the mountain......

Zhu You spoke slowly about his experience, what he saw, heard and thought. Lu Jiang sat on the side and listened patiently to his story.

Several times, he wanted to interrupt Zhu You's narration.

But seeing Zhu You's expression, he held back again.

After the story of the incident is finished, I wish you a long breath. After so many days, he finally found someone to confide in.

Lu Jiang handed him a bottle of water and asked, "The police don't believe it?"

Zhu You shook his head, "I didn't tell the police." Whatever I said, they were delirious, and then I simply didn't say anything. ”

"When everyone in a village is killed, there is no wind outside? That village is on the side of the road, and when the car passes by, no one can see it back and forth, so no one suspects it?"

Zhu You hugged his head, "I don't know." ”

Lu Jiang said again: "The place where the car accident occurred is not an inaccessible place, at least there is a road. Someone passing by and seeing it, can not call the police. ”

Zhu You raised his head and looked at Lu Jiang, "Do you think I'm lying?"

Lu Jiang shook his head, "I don't think you're lying, you can't make up such a strange thing." ”

"And what do you mean?"

Lu Jiang said: "Brother Zhu, I want to know if what you have seen and heard is true, I think it is necessary to visit that village again." ”

Zhu You shook his head again and again, no, never.

"If we don't go into the village, we'll go and take a look at the place where you got into a car accident. Let's see if the car is not there, is it really as you said, windy, rainy, rusty. ”
