Chapter 121: Back to Hometown
The agency has a forest here, so I'm not so worried.
After getting home, we packed our things and dragged our two suitcases in the direction of home.
But I don't know if God is against me, the more anxious I am, the more I can't get the fastest plane tickets, and I don't know why all the planes stopped when I flew to the city in the south.
"Young man, you can't book a ticket right now. There's a typhoon going on over there, and if you want to take an empty road, you won't be able to go back at all. You can either take the high-speed train, from here to the city you mentioned, it is only two days, wait here and besides, it is dangerous to fly. ”
A doorman outside the airport explained the situation to me seriously, and after listening to what he said, I couldn't help it.
Friends who don't live in the south may not know, but I grew up in the south, so if the typhoon comes, there is really no way.
Not to mention flying, even walking on the street is particularly dangerous.
"It's okay, Wen Jie, let's take the train, instead of wasting time here, it's better to get on the train quickly."
Dong Jing was obviously in a hurry, she didn't want to waste time waiting at the airport, so we rushed to the high-speed rail station again.
I successfully bought a high-speed rail ticket to the south, and we got on the train.
On the road, Dong Jing kept coming back, she was afraid that she would forget any details of the phone call from her cousin that day.
I knew she was under a lot of pressure, and I could only comfort her.
"Don't be too anxious, maybe it's the same as Lin Mu said, after returning to our hometown, we can find out these things about my cousin's disappearance."
On the one hand, these words are used to appease Dong Jing, and on the other hand, they are also what I feel need to say to myself.
To tell you the truth, in a strange city, after not having my cousin, I felt very panicked.
Even now that I'm on my way back to my homeland, I can't help but want to tremble, I always feel that things are not so simple.
"Do you know where your cousin's business came from? Do you know who introduced him to him? I asked Dongjing.
She shook her head.
I can only sigh.
I do care less about my cousin, and he has been helping me find the Soul Bead all the time.
And I'm busy with my own business, and all I have in my eyes is money.
But I remember vividly that he said that he was going to the next city to help with a matter.
It seems to say that it is just a funeral, so I don't need to go over to help, let me stay here.
The funeral can still lose Mr. Yin and Yang, but this is the first time I've heard it.
"I remember," Dong Jing suddenly grabbed my hand: "The phone call he gave me, there were several men's voices behind him, it was probably a group of people." ”
I frowned at her, what is this?
Although that phone call was the last contact between my cousin and us, and all the sound effects behind the phone are likely to be useful to us, what are these men?
Maybe it's my cousin in the vegetable market, or maybe it's in a place where the flow of people is particularly complicated and there are many people.
This doesn't seem to be much useful information for us.
Maybe Dong Jing understood what I meant, and she didn't speak anymore.
I sighed, because of the disappearance of my cousin, everyone is under a lot of mental pressure, and if it continues like this, it is very likely that they will collapse.
The tense rubber band will also be torn off one day.
I reached out and hugged Dong Jing into my arms: "Let's sleep for a while, we'll be almost there when we wake up." ”
At this time, it is already midnight, and it will be five tomorrow afternoon
At about one o'clock, we will arrive at the train station in the prefecture.
It is only half an hour to enter the village at the train station, and by then, you will soon be able to get home by taxi, and as long as you get home, it is estimated that you can find clues about your cousin.
Imagination is always good, and when I dragged my suitcase back to my hometown with Dong Jing, only the village chief sat at the door of his house.
"Ouch, isn't this Xiaojie back? What about your uncle? ”
The village chief greeted me warmly, but when I heard him ask where my cousin was, I knew that my cousin had not returned.
I suddenly stood at the entrance of the village and felt isolated.
The cousin did not return.
So where do I go to find him?
But since I'm back, I should go home first.
I forced a smile, said hello to the village chief, and walked in the direction of home.
I haven't been back here since my grandmother left.
My aunt and his wife had already moved to the city, and in this village, I had nothing but this old house.
Standing in front of the house, I suddenly felt like an orphan.
Dong Jing seemed to have telepathy with me, and she reached out and took my hand.
This is the first time I have taken her hand seriously, and the little one, soft and glutinous, is in the palm of my hand.
This feeling is like a seed planted in my heart, and all of a sudden, this seed sprouts and grows slowly, giving me a strong feeling of wanting to rely on.
"It's okay, everyone will leave us in the end. Life is lonely, you have to go alone when you come alone, I believe you will understand these things in the future. Dong Jing said the most indifferent words in the gentlest tone.
I understand that what she said is true, and the reality is cruel.
Walking into the house, I began to clean up.
I haven't been back here for a long time, and the house is covered with a thick layer of ash.
But luckily, it still retains its original appearance, which is probably the most reassuring pattern for me.
Since I'm back, I didn't plan to leave so soon, and Dong Jing kept telling me that grandma's death might not be so simple.
If that's the case, I'll take advantage of this time to come back and find out what happened by the way.
At that time, after my grandmother died, her funeral was completed, and I left the village with my cousin.
I haven't had time to put away all the stuff about my grandmother in the house, and I haven't even entered her room.
I plan to tidy up the house and go to my grandmother's room to look for his relics when I have time, and see if it will be the same as what Dong Jing said.
It was almost late at night after finishing the cleaning in the house, and Dong Jing was lying on his stomach in the hall, probably because he was not sleeping comfortably on the train.
I cleaned up my room and carried him to his room.
I sat alone in the big courtyard in a daze.
There have been so many things going on in the past few days that I can't handle them all at once.
Where the hell did my cousin go...... I looked up at the stars in the sky, the night hung over me, and an indescribable sense of loneliness spread through my body.
