In the summer of this year, someone saw Ai Xuefeng on the outskirts of the town.

At that time, it was already dark and there was not a single pedestrian on the road.

Suddenly, he saw a person appear dozens of meters in front of him, and the person hurriedly walked forward.

At first, he didn't care. As he walked, he felt more and more familiar with that back, and he thought hard, who is he?

There was a faint moon hanging in the sky, and it squinted its eyes and followed quietly.

After walking for a while, the man flashed, disappeared into the sunflower field by the roadside, and disappeared.

At that moment, he suddenly remembered that he was Ai Xuefeng--- he was.

I don't know if it's true or not.

Later, a few more people said that they also saw Ai Xuefeng's back on that night road, and the details they described were exactly the same as the first person.

Not long after, a stranger appeared in the town, his name was Ah Li, it seemed that he was from Shanxi, and he went to the town to sell glasses.

He's the same age as me.

My mom often pointed to my nose and said, "Look at people, who's as old as you, they're all going south and north to do business!" "

Maybe it's because the world is too far apart, and we all think Ah Li's accent is very strange.

He probably understood this, but he rarely spoke, and he always sat silently on the side of the street, looking at the clouds in the distance.

Next to him lay two long wooden boxes filled with various kinds of glasses.

When it was about to get dark, he closed the two wooden boxes, picked them up with a flat pole, and left.

He lives in a house in the suburbs and rents.

Someone occasionally visited his house at night, which was full of glasses.

Too much of anything can make people feel uncomfortable, such as bugs, such as hair.

Behind those glasses seemed to block countless eyes.

The people of the town know very little about Ah Li's origins, and they don't even know what his surname is.

He also loves to play table tennis and plays it well.

He holds the racket with his left hand.

A table tennis match was held in the town, and the industrial and commercial team had no masters, so they pulled Ah Li into their camp.

Ah is self-employed, which is reasonable.

The competition was held in the foyer of the town's cinema.

Ah got the seventh place.

This year, Mr. Chang also participated, but he did not rank in the rankings.

He fought with Ah Liu.

When I got home, Mr. Chang's face was clouded all the time.

He's not frustrated because he didn't make the rankings, he's scared.

The family kept asking him what was wrong, and all he said was that his head hurt.

At night, he lay in bed and couldn't sleep, thinking about those eyes all the time.

Those eyes were all too familiar.

What shocked him the most was that before the game, Ah Luo stared at his face and said in a low voice: "Teacher Chang, if I lose today, I will buy you pastries to eat." "

This phrase was already engraved in his brain.

He is an honest man who is afraid of things, after Ai Xuefeng died, he was in a trance for more than a year, and he always heard this sentence ringing in his ears--- "Teacher Chang, I am your defeated, if I lose to you again today, I will buy you pastries to eat......"

He always felt that if it weren't for himself, Ai Xuefeng would not have died.

However, when Ai Xuefeng said this, there were only two of them in the room.

He shuddered a little.

Tang Daming's mental illness has not improved.

On my 19th birthday, a few hours before Tang Daming was drowned, someone saw Ah Luo buy Tang Daming a pound of pastries to eat.

Tang Daming ate with relish, and his dirty beard was full of pastry dregs.

Ah smiled and watched him eat.

That very night, Don Daming died.

Early the next morning, his body was found in a pond on the eastern outskirts of the town, with his back up, floating on the water.

There was also a dead duck floating next to him.

He has been crazy for so many years, he has never fallen into the water, and there has been no sign of suicide, why did he suddenly throw himself into the water on the death day of Ai Xuefeng's death for 19 years?

It's a mystery.

What's even more strange is that the next day, everyone saw Ah Li's glasses case upright on the side of the street, as usual, but Ah Li was gone.

Since then, the people of the town have never seen him again, and he has disappeared forever.

And the strange thing: he left those sunglasses, which were really like ink, and he couldn't see anything when he put them on.

No one, including me, could explain the purpose of this.

On this day, someone saw that the wild grass on Ai Xuefeng's grave was gone, and new soil was filled.

Everyone was talking about this strange thing, but no one made up their minds, and everyone seemed to know it.

The town is suddenly full of ghosts.

I'm putting on my brand new uniform, and I'm about to leave the town of the Peerless Emperor.

On this day, Ai Xuefeng's mother came to me, and she said with a heavy heart: "Dongzi, I heard that your group of soldiers is going to Shanxi? "

"Yes. Auntie, what's the matter with you? "

She thought for a while and said: "Last year, on the day Tang Mingda drowned, I picked up a bunch of old letters at my door, all of which were written by Tang Mingda, and the addresses were all Shanxi. After you get to the army, help the eldest lady to see what is going on. "

Daming Tang?

That drowned madman?

I immediately took the old letters from her hand and flipped through them one by one.

I remember very well that it was already dark and there was no electricity. I felt chills all over my body as I watched by the dancing candlelight......

To be honest, I don't believe that Ah Li is Ai Xuefeng, and I can't talk about being afraid or not.

But this drowned Don Daming, this madman who has been giggling for as long as I can remember, shocked me --- he had been soberly writing letters to another person!

It was as if I saw a pale face in the dim light, flickering and unpredictable.
