In the evening, a small carriage ran on the asphalt road, and the crisp sound of horses' hooves echoed in the ears, and rushed along the road around the lake to the distant town. Stepping on the sunset, the lake breeze blows, the waves turn into snow and roll up the rocky beach, and the lake gradually disappears behind. This verdant little plain, as far as the eye can see, is particularly lovely between the sunsets, with rolling mountains and peaks in the distance, and white clouds floating in the sky.

Xiao Ling accompanied his grandmother home, Mingjie followed Junjie alone, excitedly he stood on the carriage, waving the coachman's whip in his hand, pulling the reins and shouting, urging the horse to run faster, the wind blew on his charming little face, and the hair flew with the wind.

The carriage ran into a lotus field, the endless lotus field on all sides, in the middle of the big leaves of the blue plate, swaying with the wind a branch of the lotus flower, the petals that occasionally fall, hit the lotus leaf, turn down the duckweed in the water, the wind blows, the blue leaves in the sky, and roll with the wind.

Junjie was a little wary that he fell off the carriage, and thought of his amazing and perfect performance last night, so he ignored him, and smiled at the little guy driving the carriage, why wasn't he so cheerful and cheerful when he was a child.

"Young man, your family is really blessed to have a pair of good-looking brothers like you. The old man who was driving the car smoking a dry cigarette opened his mouth to talk to Junjie.

Junjie smiled at the corner of his mouth and said to the old man: "Uncle, we are not brothers, are we very similar?"

"I'm not your brother, is it your son? Mingjie, who was driving the car, turned around and interjected. The old man laughed.

is open-mouthed, and one sentence makes Junjie a little shy, and he really wants to strangle him at the moment.

The carriage entered the city, the old man took the reins from Mingjie's hand, and on the lively street, the carriage was driven by this child, and the horse was likely to break into people. Mingjie also sat back in Junjie's arms, there were only Mingjie and Junjie in the car, and there were not many guests in the carriage that returned late, which made Mingjie have a lot of fun.

Finally arrived at this long-awaited small town, Junjie took Mingjie's hand, for fear that he would run around, Mingjie, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, was likely to find no trace if he was not careful, and he was full of curiosity about everything.

When I returned to the city, it was almost dark, and my parents were very busy with work recently, so they were definitely not at home, because it was too late, so I could only take Mingjie out to eat and then go home, and there was no time to cook. Unconsciously came to this street that I used to come to when I used to go to school, and the bustling students couldn't help but think of their former classmates, and after taking another middle school, I don't know how they were doing.

"Xiaojie, let's go back after dinner?"

Hearing that she was going to eat in a small shop outside, Mingjie seemed a little unhappy, nodded and asked, "Is the food in the small shop delicious?"

Junjie looked at Mingjie with a smile, patted him and said, "There are a few snacks there that are particularly delicious, and I will make konjac chicken for you tomorrow." ”

The whole street is a familiar atmosphere, many middle school students, wandering on this street, and in a few small restaurants, there are some noisy sounds of drinking and fists, Junjie took Mingjie and entered a clean and lively restaurant.

It's really noisy, fortunately, there is a small table, Junjie led Mingjie to sit down, because it was too eye-catching, it attracted some attention, and naturally some people paid attention to Mingjie, such a dazzling solid-colored little boy. As soon as he sat down, Junjie vaguely heard a familiar voice and looked back at the source of the sound.

"Brother Jun, who called you?" Mingjie nodded at Junjie's arm on the table.

Junjie didn't know who called his name, and his voice was a little familiar, and he couldn't be sure who it was.

"Handsome guy, why don't you come to us when you're back. A boy had already grabbed Junjie's shoulders from behind, and his strong hand grabbed Junjie's shoulders.

"Xiao Kai, why are you?" Junjie grabbed the boy's arm and laughed, stood up and kicked him.

Xiao Kai put his arms around Junjie's neck, saw Mingjie again, stared at Teyuan with a pair of eyes, pointed at Junjie and asked with a wicked smile: "This child, could it be the son born to you and Yujiao, so good-looking, I've never seen it." ”

Junjie pushed Xiao Kai away, turned his hand and pinched his vein, stuck it hard, and Xiao Kai's pleading voice came: "Brother Jun, let go of me, it hurts, it hurts." ”

Let go of Xiao Kai, he flicked his finger and said, "Brother Jun, it's rare to meet you, we just finished playing football and drank in the room, since you're back, let's go together." Li Jing and Wang Han are also here, it's rare for us to get together, and it's impossible not to go. ”

Avoiding Xiao Kai, Junjie sat next to Mingjie again and said with a smile: "You know that I like to drink too much, I just brought my younger brother here to eat, I don't want to spoil your interest, I hate to drink with you the most, and then get drunk like mud and don't go." ”

Xiao Kai was willing to follow Junjie, stretched out his hand to grab Junjie, and dragged Junjie with him. Finally provoked Mingjie on the side, the little guy pulled Xiao Kai's hand, couldn't pull it away, showed his white teeth, and bit on Xiao Kai's tendon.

"Ahh ”

Junjie protected Mingjie, gloated and smiled: "You can be careful, my brother is better than me! Get out, they are waiting for you, call Wang Han and Li Jing in a while, I will invite you to tea, I will not go if I drink." ”

Xiao Kai couldn't drag Junjie away, and stood for a while, Junjie kicked him again, and the young man turned around one step at a time to remind Junjie to wait for them, otherwise he would die a miserable death and went to the inner room.

The food is really delicious, especially a dish of fried wild mushrooms with chili, Mingjie likes to eat it very much, and the little guy doesn't even eat much of the meat he likes on weekdays, and he really understands what is the delicacy of the mountains. Ming Jiesheng also picked up some mushrooms in the mountain village and went home, but because of the lack of some ingredients at home, no matter how good her mother's craftsmanship was, it was not as delicious as here.

Today is the second day that Junjie found Mingjie, watching this kid eat quietly, I don't feel a little cute like a kitten eating, very hungry, the food is delicious, Mingjie doesn't gobble up, and occasionally you can see his lovely little red tongue, which is not like Mingjie's character at all.

I like this child more and more, Junjie can't help but sigh, why Mingjie is not his own brother, living with such a child must be a lot of joy, and occasionally a little naughty is also full of fun.

It's windy outside, it feels a little cold, why did the originally clear night sky suddenly become a little cold, is it going to rain, Junjie looked at the sky, and said that it will change, it seems that there may be a heavy rainstorm.

"Brother, let's go home quickly, why is Xiao Ling not here, and there is such a cold ghost weather?"

Junjie looked at the thin and old clothes on Mingjie's body, took off his coat and put it on him, it was big and long, his hands shook his long sleeves, and Mingjie played.

When he was about to leave, several boys stopped Junjie, Xiao Kai came with two tall boys, full of alcohol, and was very excited to see Junjie, and when he came over, he hugged Junjie, punched and kicked and laughed for a while, and asked in unison: "Is Xiao Jiaojiao back, the days without beautiful women are really difficult." ”

They were still so oily and slick that they didn't have any seriousness, and Junjie dragged them out of the diner and out onto the street.

Briefly talked about the separation of junior high school, their respective study and life, and talked about the past, these boys seemed to be back in the past, talking about the past endlessly, laughing.

Mingjie, who walked next to Junjie, heard the most about a girl named Yujiao, it seems that this girl is very beautiful, several times, when talking about this girl named Yujiao, Junjie will start beating Xiaokai. Xiao Kai is a boy who talks a lot, has a cheerful personality and laughs loudly.

I haven't seen Junjie for a long time, so a few boys were invited to a teahouse to chat, because the three boys drank some wine today, and the wine came up, except for Xiao Kai, who was groggy and could only disperse after chatting for a while. In the end, Junjie also agreed to Xiao Kai's invitation, saying that he would come to Junjie's house for a party tomorrow morning, Mingjie didn't understand why they loved drinking so much, they were uncomfortable, they were as sad as they were sick, and they yelled.

Back on the street, there was a strong wind, and it might not take long for the heavy rain to come, and the strong wind blew on the body, feeling a little comfortable, and the autumn wind was comfortable. The soft Mingjun hair moves with the wind, the handsome and charming figure, in the night, pure as a celestial, does not belong to this world, the strong wind stirs the collar of his black shirt, sexy and fair-skinned neck, and the Adam's apple rolls gently.

He regained the clarity of his spirit, and a pair of eyes in the dark night, as if radiating his unique aura, flashed and penetrated the soul.

Junjie thought of the stunning boy in his dream, only a seedling like Mingjie could grow into the exquisite and beautiful man in his dream, only his eyes were unique and pure, and his heart was inexplicably excited. Stretched out his hand and touched Mingjie's cute little chin and said, "Xiaojie, what will a little boy like you look like when he grows up?" ”

Mingjie, who bared his teeth, showed the tips of his white little teeth, glared at Junjie and shouted: "Brother Jun, I'm no longer a child, don't touch me like this, make me feel very naïve, everyone has to touch my face." ”

Mingjie at a young age, so likable, will naturally attract a lot of adult-sized touches, Junjie chuckled. Pull on the bright little arm, follow the street, and leisurely walk in the direction of home.

Before I took a few steps, large raindrops fell, and they fell on my head as if I had been hit with Xiaoice, cold and comfortable. When the heavy rain came, Junjie dragged Mingjie and ran all the way down the street, and in an instant, the heavy rain was like a scoop pouring on people, soaking wet. It was already wet, Junjie simply stopped running and slowed down.

The sky suddenly rained heavily, it was too sudden, and the scattered figures on the street were also drenched, and no one was spared. Ming Jie looked at these people who returned late like herself, becoming soup chickens, pointing at them and laughing instead, the laughter was crisp, and was drowned out by the sound of heavy rain.

Walking on the rain flowing through the streets, my whole body is watery, and I can't wait to fly back. Junjie, who was walking, suddenly grabbed Mingjie, listened for a while and asked, "Xiaojie, it rains so hard, do you hear the strange echo of a boy?"

Mingjie nodded and said, "I heard it, it's not my echo anyway, whatever!"

Mingjie, whose head was covered with water, whose hair covered his eyebrows, and whose cute little chin was dripping, Junjie couldn't help but laugh again: "You haven't eaten enough, have you? Why are you drooling so much?"

Unexpectedly, Junjie would also tease himself, but he couldn't talk to Mingjie, and waved his small fist to punch him twice, and the fist stopped in mid-air. The echo in the rain was clearer, agitated layer by layer, hearing such a sound made Mingjie and Junjie very surprised, and Mingjie seemed to have heard this sound, and he couldn't remember it for a while, and he always heard the echo from the ground recently.

Junjie tightly took Mingjie's hand and whispered, "Xiaojie, there is a soul flying." ”

Mingjie also asked in a low voice: "Soul, that's a ghost, shouldn't we see a ghost again!"

"It's not a ghost, it's just a soul, many spiritual creatures, including a very small number of plants, they have souls, and after these spiritual things die, the natural spirits disappear like light, and those substances that can attach to the natural spirits will disappear naturally, and it will take some time for the souls to disappear, and it will take seven days for the shorter ones to disperse, and the longer ones will dissipate in about a hundred days. These souls that have not dissipated are captured by some supernatural powers, or people with magical abilities, and through a series of complex tempering, they will become ghosts, of course, there are some naturally formed ghosts, but they are not common. ”

Mingjie understood, it turned out that the soul and the ghost were completely different, and he always thought that the soul was a ghost. When I opened my mouth to speak, there was some slightly colored mist floating in the rain, and the mist was not dispersed by the strong wind or rain, but like a fluttering cloud, constantly changing shape in the wind, and I could vaguely see the appearance of a human figure, and sometimes it was twisted into a ball, it was just a piece of smoke that could not be dispersed.

With such a soul appearing, Mingjie pulled Junjie a little nervously and asked, "Brother, why can't you usually see it, but you can see it in this thunderstorm today?" It's too distorted, I don't want to see the human soul on weekdays." ”

Junjie leaned into Mingjie's ear and said: "Just like you and me, they are also wet, stained with moisture, and more importantly, tonight's eyes are sprayed with spiritual light, and it is precisely because they have lost the meaning of their existence without our spiritual light, and finally disappeared with the breath of nature." But....... ”

Junjie further explained, Mingjie was a little scared, hugged Junjie and said: "We have spiritual light on us, so will they suck our aura, the ghost who sucks the vitality in the ghost story should be ......." ”

"Silly boy, if the soul is a substance that is integrated into the pure natural spirit in nature, it will dissolve into water like white sugar, and it cannot be called a soul, so the soul is afraid of spiritual things, including human beings with pure hearts. Besides, our powerful super spirits, they can't avoid it, just like last night, and they don't dare to touch us at all. ”

Mingjie was relieved, but the question came again: "Then why aren't ghosts afraid of people?"

There are a lot of questions, Junjie patted Mingjie's wet hair and said: "Stupid death, I have already told you, ghosts are formed by supernatural energy, and even after the death of some souls, they are manipulated by people with magical abilities, cultivated by special means, and have physical power, these ghosts can basically get close to people, and after a hundred years, they have the ability to hurt people." ”

"No wonder it is rumored that some people raise ghosts, and there are people in our Miao village who raise ghosts. ”

"Let's take a look!"

Junjie pulled Mingjie and followed the souls that drifted away. It's already soaked, and he hasn't gone home yet, Mingjie is bitter in his heart, and at the same time, he is curious, and he wants to see how his soul becomes a ghost, maybe he can see the ghost keeper today.
