Chapter 18: The Boy Who Repairs the Wall

...... "I need a reason to convince myself, even if it's just an excuse. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info "Yin Huai carefully selected the tiles and carefully selected the excuses.

"I came to this town two years ago, and I didn't know much, if not very few, but they were all nice people, so I didn't want to leave. In early summer, there was a slight hot wind blowing, Xia He, who was already a ghost, couldn't feel anything, and Yin Huai's chest rose with the same heat, and the dryness even poured out through his eyebrows.

Xia He still didn't say anything, just looked at Yin Huai's back.

The people in the courtyard are squatting, and the ghosts in the courtyard are floating.

The squatting people are no longer quiet, and the floating ghosts can't find the frivolous side.

The people chattered, and the ghost listened quietly.

With the first chirping of cicadas in early summer, the man's memories of his arrival fell to the last note, and then there was no sound. The sound of cicadas is disturbing.

Xia He listened to the story about Yin Huai again, although this time the story was told from the mouth of the person concerned, but it may be because Yin Huai rarely tells stories, or maybe because of the dryness that can't be concealed between his eyebrows, Xia He didn't feel particularly deeply.

Fortunately, Yin Huai wants an excuse, not a heartfelt sigh. Xia He didn't sigh, and he couldn't find an excuse, so he could only say his own suggestions.

"Then don't leave. The sound of cicadas disturbing people's sleep, and the courtyard was quiet, naturally it would not be that everyone and every ghost in the courtyard fell asleep, but Yin Huai didn't know how to respond to this suggestion.

After a long time, Xia He saw that Yin Huai had no intention of answering, so he continued.

"You don't have a reason to leave, you have a reason to stay here, so why not ......"

"You're dead, you're just a ghost now, why do you decide my business. Yin Huai finally turned around and looked at Yin Huai's face, which was not real, and the dryness that originally only stayed between his eyebrows had ignited the anger in the young man's eyes.

Xia He looked at the anger in the young man's eyes without the slightest fear. He is a genius, so naturally he will not be afraid of this extraordinary ordinary boy in front of him.

Yin Huai's voice was very loud, like a thunder in the flat ground, interrupting the chirping cicadas, interrupting Xia He's calm suggestion, fortunately, in a remote corner, the thunder on the flat ground did not wake up the neighbor's sweet dream, but a sleeping girl turned over.

"You can't practice, although I don't know how you made me like this, and although I thank you very much, I still don't want you to go with us. Xia He's face lacked some of the confident smiles that he usually had on weekdays, only an unobstructed calmness, calm and a little indifferent, just like Yin Huai on weekdays.

Yin Huai couldn't help laughing, smiling forward and backward, laughing a little crazy, laughing very meanly, completely different from him on weekdays, it was the smile of a young man who had lost his country and everything, smiling, mean, the arc of the cold mouth was not gentle or quiet.

"You're going to drive me away so soon, don't you want me to hold you back?" Yin Huai's voice grew louder and sharper, and his lips trembled a little with anger.

"You're dead, you're just a poor little ghost now, no one can see you, now you can't even win against me, why do you let me stay, why do you say I'm holding back, why ......" Angry to the end, the young man couldn't even speak clearly, just looked at the poor remnant in front of him, and laughed mockingly and angrily.

Xia He has never seen such a teenager, Erzhuzi and Aunt Ma, who have known him for two years, have never seen such a mean teenager, and even the teenager himself has never seen such a self, even the fragments of himself in his dreams have never had such a side.

Although Xia He hadn't seen it, he still looked at the young man calmly, even when the young man mocked him for being inferior to him, the expression on his face didn't change.

"I'm just a ghost now, but I can practice. And you, although you are a person, can only look at the cultivators, secretly envious, even if you can save people into ghosts, what if you leave here, you will meet many cultivators, you will be like many ordinary people can only bow down to those great cultivators, speaking of which, you are the one who needs to be saved. The calm Xia He said calm and somewhat mean words, and the two faced each other with meanness.

In fact, what Xia He said was not accurate, after all, cultivation is the patent of a few geniuses, although there are many people in the world who know the existence of cultivation, but because they are not talented enough or cannot find the cultivation method, they can only give up in despair. After all, geniuses in the world are a minority, and those cultivation methods are nothing to big families, gate valves, and the like, but they are still rare for ordinary people.

Most people in the world, like the people of Giethoorn, know about the existence of cultivators, but they only think that they are just legends. After all, cultivation is still a treasure in the hands of a few.

"It's not that I can't practice, but I can't practice, if you teach me, I will definitely ......," Yin Huai shouted.

"Why should I teach you. Xia He responded indifferently.

“...... Because I wanted to, and I saved you. Yin Huai looked at the indifferent Xia He, withdrew his mocking smile, and used indifference to indifference.

But unexpectedly, Xia He didn't respond to Yin Huai's indifference, and he didn't even continue to have an indifferent expression, the corners of his mouth hooked up a little arc, and slowly the arc became bigger and bigger, so big that it returned to Xia He's usual smile.

Yin Huai was a little stunned, but he was not a fool after all, and he slowly understood that the previous indifference was just a mask.

"Now, isn't that the reason?" Xia He said again.

The reason to leave, the reason to welcome a new world, is really just what I think.

I want to leave, I want to be strong, I want to be strong enough to kill God, I want to learn to practice...... That's what I wanted, so I was going to do it, I wanted to kill that god, so I wanted to be strong enough, I wanted to be strong, so I wanted to practice, I wanted to embark on the path of cultivation, so I needed to leave, leave this town where there was no practice, leave the good people who couldn't practice.

That's what I think.

"It has been said in ancient books that desire is the source of human progress, in order to satisfy enough greedy desires, people will do enough things to change, change leads to progress, among all desires, I think it is the most greedy, but also the purest one. Because it's pure, it's the strongest, I don't know why you want to practice, maybe it's a hobby, maybe it's hatred, but in the final analysis, it's still you want to. ”

"I used to want to wander the world, so I ran away from home every day, and then my irresponsible father died, and I wanted to live with my sister and mother, so I wanted to practice, so even if I was dead, I wanted to continue to be stronger, strong enough to protect my sister, that's what I thought. ”

"Now, I know what you think, cultivation is what you think, and I will teach you to practice. Because this is what you think, not the path of cultivation that you bought with one of my lives. ”

Xia He looked at Yin Huai, his eyes were full of seriousness and sincerity.

In the end, Xia He stretched out a hand, just like he had done the first two times, but this time it was no longer a friendly greeting, and the person who stretched out his hand had no human body, but he was just a little ghost, but he exuded a gentle and upright smell in the sun, which belonged to the taste of self-confidence.

"So, let's go......"

The cicadas in the courtyard were still singing, but a cool breeze blew from nowhere, blowing away the sweltering heat of early summer in the courtyard, and also extinguishing the anger in the young man's eyes, and blowing away the dryness that came with the wind. Good time to start summer.

Yin Huai squatted down again, no longer looking at Xia He, and naturally did not pay attention to the transparent hand that fell in mid-air.

Xia He naturally couldn't see it, squatted down and continued to sort out the scattered tiles.

From time to time, the tile stone knocked on another tile, which was very crisp and pleasant.

"Why do you still have to pick up stones?"

"I'm leaving, but someone will come. ”

Everyone will leave, leaving the humble house behind, picking up the scattered tiles again, the walls of the courtyard will eventually be built, the vitality of the locust trees will eventually be restored, and perhaps in the early summer of next year, the new owner who lives here will smell the faint, unpasteled scent of locust flowers.

"Because other people are going to be here. The young man's laughter was refreshing and clean, as if it had been a rainy night, refreshing.

Xia He heard the young man's refreshing smile, and he laughed himself, but no one could hear his laughter......

...... The silence in the bun shop continued, and in the silence, the couple made two buns in silence, including Xiaolian's favorite bean paste bun and the classic big bun.

The rich bean paste is sweet, the rich gravy is full, and the steamed bun shop seems to be filled with the taste of happiness, but the faces of the couple who make the taste of happiness are not overflowing with happiness at all.

The air is hot, the steaming heat of the buns is hot, and the heart of the boss in the steamed bun shop with a cold face and a hot heart is even hotter.

The rocks in the courtyard were found to be neat and tidy, and Yin Huai, who decided to leave, rolled up his sleeves with a smile and decided to do a big job.

The dough in the shop was mixed with water, and the bean paste pounded alive was wrapped into buns by the couple who were working hard, neatly stacked, and placed in the cage.

Yin Huai didn't tell the couple who had been taking care of him that he was about to leave, but he just said a lot of things in the shop, and those words were just very ordinary words, but when they came out of the mouth of Yin Huai, who rarely spoke, it became less ordinary.

So, the teenager who went home would find a convincing reason to reassure the two of them. So, the two people who stayed in the shop closed the shop and concentrated on making sweet buns, just to let the departing teenager taste the sweet taste from Giethoorn.

It's like a teenager who insists on repairing the wall just wants to be able to return here after a long time......
