After Yao left, Zhou Yi sat alone for a long time, for a long time, until the east spit out the white of the fish's belly, and the frog chirping at night finally stopped.

Outside, an unknown bird was singing briskly, and he suddenly wanted to do something.

Turn on your phone and book a ticket back to your hometown.

Zhou Yi's hometown is in an unknown town in Qujiang City, a place that can't be counted as a third-tier city, and that is the place he remembers.

Maybe we should go back and check it out.

"You guys watch the door."

Zhou Yi just left a short sentence, and the time was set for half an hour later, and he couldn't wait.

Sitting on the bus on the way back, the bumpy journey, the memory of the track is getting clearer and clearer, and the unique dizzying smell of paint on the mixed bus.

The scenery outside the window was almost too hard to see, the people in the car were bustling, the cries of children, the sound of phone calls, and the dialect with local dialect mixed together, and the vomit mixed with the smell of hair oil.

"Master, get off at Ping'an Road in front."

"Master, I'll get off at Lushan Elementary School in front."

"Master......"

"Master, get out of the car!"

A steady stream of voices kept ringing, and it wasn't until the penultimate stop that Zhou Yi slowly spoke, "Master, stop ahead." ”

Since he came out to work and rented a house outside, he has rarely returned to this town.

Familiar and unfamiliar streets, choose the feeling of being there in your memory, the town has been built with tall buildings, and the contrast between buildings and bungalows is so abrupt.

The big girls with open teeth sat together, basking in the sun with small benches, chattering endlessly.

Maybe whose youngest grandson was admitted to college, or whose daughter's daughter came back from her mother's house, or because of the uneven distribution of land, whose family and whose family got into a fight again.

There is always no shortage of such old ladies in the town, sipping melon seeds, with melon seed skin sticking to their lips, and speaking more forcefully than young people.

Zhou Yi returned to his home, and the bungalow in his original memory had changed, cleaner than before, and the courtyard wall was also high.

The bricks and dirt had turned to cement, and he stood in front of the door with trembling fingers, hesitating, and pausing for a long time.

"Young man, who are you looking for?"

Someone suddenly slapped him on the back, it was an old man wearing a black hat, the folds on the old man's face were very heavy, and his sallow face looked so tired.

"I'm looking for Zhou Jianguo."

"Oh, it's unfortunate that the two of them sold this place to us a few years ago."

The voice of a child came from the room, laughing and making noise, and a gentle female voice persuaded her.

The old man seemed to feel something, and sighed: "Who are you from the two of them?" Speaking of which, they are also pitiful, and their only daughter did not come back after she got married, saying that she went abroad. ”

"Daughter?!!

Zhou Yi subconsciously asked, "They gave birth to a daughter?!! ”

"That's right, the little girl was handsome when she was a child, sensible and filial, we watched her grow up, who would have thought that she would forget her father and mother when she got married."

The old man was old, so he squinted his eyes as he spoke, and approached Zhou Yi to look carefully, "Young man, who are you?" ”

"Can you tell me, where are Zhou Jianguo and the two of them now?"

"Alas, I don't know if there will be no news after I move out, poor thing!"

The uncle shook his head deeply and said, "Young man, why don't you go and ask elsewhere." ”

"Thank you, uncle."

Zhou Yi looked at the familiar and unfamiliar bungalow in front of him, and felt an inexplicable sourness in his heart.

There's no need for it, is it?

He should have guessed this result a long time ago, but he involuntarily walked to the gate of the dilapidated and brand-new school.

He had spent his entire childhood in this dilapidated and brand-new school, and the doorman's strange gaze swept over him, with a little suspicious vigilance.

"Young man, you've been back and forth here a few times, what are you going to do?"

"Just came back from outside, isn't this here to look for memories of your childhood?"

"Oh, I see, what's your name, young man? I've been a janitor at this school since more than 40 years ago, and now that the school has been demolished, I'm still working as a janitor here. ”

The doorman was younger than the old man just now, revealing the old smoker's big yellow teeth, "What's your name, young man?" ”

"Zhou Yi."

"Zhou Yi?"

The doorman muttered Zhou Yi's name, frowned slightly, and after a while, patted his head, "People can't remember anything when they're old." ”

"Are you going in? Just sign up, young man. ”

"Nope."

The doorman nodded, "Also, keep the appearance in my memory, so it's good, the inside has changed, everything has changed." ”

yes, there's nothing left, what's the point of going in?

"I haven't changed, I'm going to be laid off in a few days, time is really fast!"

Zhou Yi didn't go in, he just looked at the door fixedly.

The doorman is still chattering, "Time is so fast, a lifetime has passed in a flash, and everything ......has changed."

For a whole day, there was no such person, no such person, and the result was only that there was no such person!

Everyone doesn't remember themselves, even those relatives don't even exist, no one knows him in school, Zhou Jianguo and his family gave birth to a daughter, so what is he Zhou Yi?

A person sat for a long time in a quiet park, in the middle of nowhere, dark and dark, and during the day, for safety, someone passed by and just hurried by.

At night, there was no vitality, except for a few cats pacing back and forth in front of Zhou Yi.

"Come here."

Zhou Yi sat on the newly repaired steps, surrounded by sparse rain, with green trees covering the sky above his head and spreading green grass under his feet.

A few cats passed back and forth, and I don't know if it was the original ones.

"Meow meow." A big orange cat first stopped in the distance, its two black pupils dilated, and cautiously observed Zhou Yi.

After seeing that there was no danger, the orange cat slowly moved over.

The body was chubby, looking like he was more than a dozen pounds, raising his head and meowing at Zhou Yi.

"There's nothing to eat."

All the shops were closed on the big night, and if it was daytime, I would definitely buy some ham sausage and bread on Sunday to feed the big orange.

But at this moment, he is so similar to this cat.

The later it gets, the more people are in the park, and it's a remote place, and the darkest places are the least secure, where fights and thieves often take place.

Zhou Yi sat quietly, quiet like a mushroom growing in the corner, gradually taking root and sprouting. But there are those who don't have long eyes, and there are three people who are in a hurry to find death.
