Ma Wenhua and Shuqing strolled down the concrete road outside the campus, their heads bowed and occasionally talking, occasionally silent. Ma Wenhua looked up at her from time to time www.biquge.info his white eyes showed confusion.

"If you have any questions, you can ask me, Brother Ma. Shuqing lowered her head and occasionally raised her eyes to look at the child with ducks in the distance, he was less than 1 meter tall, wearing a pair of shorts, and his hands spread out to the sides while paddling forward, as if he were playing a water fight.

Ma Wenhua shook his head and didn't speak for a while. He took two steps and stopped to catch his breath. Shuqing cooperated with her, God took away her happiness of starting a family, but gave her a healthy body, many times she felt that there was no unfairness and fairness in this world, only her own choice. If she didn't know the predicament she would face alone, she was afraid that she would not care for her body so much.

"You're not in good shape! She looked at Ma Wenhua worriedly and said softly.

Ma Wenhua took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of his mouth, he always felt as if there was saliva flowing out of the corners of his mouth. But in fact, the corners of his mouth are very clean.

"It's normal to be old and not in good health!" he said. "I see you're in good shape," he paused, staring at the gauze on her head, "your head—I was just going to ask—"

Shuqing reached out and touched her injured place, she grinned, like a child, "Oh, this, it's okay, it's cut by a branch, it's a small wound, it's all right." My healing ability is still very young. She laughed dryly. But Ma Wenhua didn't smile, his appearance was a little serious, "You are still the same as before, Xiaoqing." He said and shook his head, "Sometimes, I say that sometimes, when you should rest, take a good rest, and don't do some things that you can't do." ”

When Shuqing heard this, she stopped, she stood where she was, and a canna on the side of the road was broken by something and fell to the ground in frustration. She looked at Ma Wenhua silently, and the wind blew the rice fields next to the road to make a gurgling sound. Ma Wenhua also stopped, he turned to look at Shuqing, "Mark's kid~" He took out his handkerchief again, ready to wipe his mouth. Shuqing stepped over and held his hand.

"The corners of your mouth are clean. She said.

Ma Wenhua reluctantly put away the handkerchief and put it back in his trouser pocket.

"You know me, don't you? I've been putting up with you—like this," Shuqing gestured to wipe the corners of her mouth, "the corners of your mouth are clean, why do you always wipe it? That's not good, you're going to scratch the corners of your mouth." ”

Ma Wenhua didn't speak, just looked at her, waiting quietly, like quietly waiting for the coming storm.

"I think that's what you shouldn't do, and you've been doing it unconsciously, isn't it? There are things you are right, and there are things that I really shouldn't do," she paused, "but there is always something to do in life, no. ”

"I don't have any intention of that. ”

"I know you mean An Xiaowen. You think I'm nosy and brought disaster back. Right?"

"I said, I didn't mean that. ”

"I know that An Xiaowen and Li Yiwen have brought disaster to this town, and I thought maybe I could. ”

"You can't. You'll never be able to stand up to him. Don't you understand your parents' good intentions in letting you go, and don't you think that if it weren't for the necessity, that mother would be willing to let her daughter, the only daughter, go to work in those dangerous places. You've never thought about it, you're thinking about the men and women from the city. You don't know who they are. You don't know. You befriend them, you bring them to explore this old town, you—"

"Tell me, who are they, tell me!"

"Shuqing, Ma Daquan is right, this town is cursed, and Zhu Zhilong, the villain, knows who he wants to take away, and he will always take whomever he wants. ”

"I didn't expect you to be so superstitious. ”

Another gust of wind blew, and the broken canna rolled forward twice, and then fell into the black gutter. Ma Wenhua put his hand into the cuff of his trousers, he thought about it, and stretched out his hand again, this time without a handkerchief. His eyes looked into the distance, stopping halfway up Longmen Mountain, where the tall pine trees and bushes made Longmen Mountain verdant and vast. Hu Sheng lived there, and his family lived there for many years.

"Did you know that Hu Sheng was locked up in an insane asylum when he was a child?"

Shuqing shook her head, as far as she knew, Hu Sheng had never been locked up in an insane asylum, he was just going to help- uh, help light the fire.

Ma Wenhua sighed, he raised his wrist to look at his watch, and then lowered his head and pondered for a while.

"Let's go, I'll take you somewhere. He said.

"Where to go?"

"Go find the answers you're looking for. ”

Ma Wenhua took Shuqing across the concrete road next to the school where they were walking, and then they turned onto a smaller path overgrown with alfalfa, and Shuqing couldn't bear to step on them, so she walked very carefully. After this trail, there is a narrower road, which is more of a ridge than a road, because on both sides of the road are farmland, and there are people bending over and busy. From time to time, the men looked up at them, and some opened their mouths to greet him and greet him. "Is your wife feeling better?" asked one of them as they were about to walk out of the ridge. "Much better, thank you for your concern. He responded, his tone calm and full of gratitude. "Teacher Ma, you go to the forest, you have to be careful, there has been no trouble over there lately!" The man kindly reminded him, and cast a curious look at Shuqing, Shuqing didn't need to look back to know that the people behind them were talking about her.

"Are we going to the Ghost Forest?" Shuqing stepped over the ridge and looked at Ma Wenhua. She knew that the people of the town called the Ghost Forest the Forest.

"Not really, but close to it. Ma Wenhua replied without looking back. "I go once a month, everybody knows. ”

Shuqing shrugged curiously, and didn't ask again, she would naturally understand when she arrived. She's not a woman who talks a lot to get into other people's privacy. She didn't want to annoy the other party because of it.

They climbed along the ridge and climbed a small hill, and Longmen Hospital came into view.

"I wanted to visit you when you lived here, but I thought maybe you didn't want to see me. Ma Wenhua pointed to the hospital and said.

"You know what happened to me at the hospital?"

"Yes, everyone in the town knows it, and everyone is talking about it. Mark's kid is actually quite likable, but—"

"Just what?"

"He's a child of the Ma family, but I don't think he'll end up like Dongzi. ”

"Why do you say that?"

"Dongzi is Zhao Coal's nephew. Ma Wenhua stopped, then he looked up, "We've arrived." ”

Shuqing followed his gaze, a hollow where weeds grew from the ground, overgrown with thorny plants and all sorts of wild plants she didn't recognize, and piles of alfalfa. But a special building hidden among these bushes and weeds caught Shuqing's eye, the whole building was rusty brown, like a small temple, just like you will see on the rock wall along the way to Laojun Cave, the wooden beams seem to grow out of the rock wall, and if you look up and look up, you will see a large pine forest, which the townspeople call - the ghost forest. They walked over, and the small temple housed two bodhisattvas she didn't recognize. Ma Wenhua immediately knelt down as soon as he approached. (To be continued.) )
