Someone was fast asleep on the bed, and Zhao Yeqing was rummaging around in the cabinet.

Mu Xi said that he would fly a helicopter to the city tonight and asked her to dress nicely.

It's a bit embarrassing to say that she only remembers the old lady's birthday, her two cousins ​​and sister-in-law, and she doesn't even know Feng Lixuan's birthday.

It’s not the right year or festival lately, so I guess it’s someone’s birthday tonight and let them go to the city for dinner.

Until Mu Xi got up, Zhao Yeqing had no idea what birthday gift he could prepare.

"What can the family give as gifts? You can't give food as gifts, it's too boring..."

When Mu Xi went downstairs, Zhao Yeqing had already changed his clothes. He saw her rummaging around in the original main house and asked questions, only to realize that she had misunderstood.

"No need to prepare, I'm ready."

So careful?

Zhao Yeqing then turned around to look at Mu Xi and saw that his hair had been specially taken care of. The slightly longer hair in front of him was combed back. He had changed into a straight white shirt on his upper body, and his long legs wrapped in black trousers were too impressive. Attention.

The white shirt and trousers were recovered from the tourist area. I found them while collecting supplies and kept them when they were still new. The shirt was still just right at the beginning, but after years of training, it seems a little too small. The buttons on the chest After being pulled slightly, two relatively subtle horizontal wrinkles appeared in the fabric.

Zhao Yeqing raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure you want to wear this?"

"how?"

She said nothing, only thinking that if Mu Xi appeared in front of people like this, everyone would not remember who the birthday boy was today.

By the way, who is the birthday girl? She wanted to ask again, but was interrupted by Mu Xi: "Let's go, time is running out."

It was now five o'clock in the afternoon. According to the current daylight saving time, the sun should set around seven o'clock. If they set off now, they can reach the city before the sun sets.

The plane took off and Zhao Yeqing sat on a chair playing with his mobile phone.

I have gone back and forth many times, and now there is nothing new when I look outside. It is better to sit on a chair and read the previously downloaded e-books on my mobile phone.

I didn't realize that the direction of progress this time was slightly different from before.

Before finishing both chapters, Zhao Yeqing felt the helicopter hovering in mid-air and slowly descending.

So fast?

Zhao Yeqing raised his eyes and looked down, seeing two small buildings standing in an open space in the dense forest below.

She was slightly startled and looked at Mu Xi without saying anything. She waited until the helicopter landed safely in the open space before asking, "Why are you here in Meishan?"

There was not only surprise but also slight surprise in his tone.

Knowing that she would be happy, Mu Xi couldn't help but slightly curled his lips: "Come and see the grandparents."

Speaking of this, Zhao Yeqing unbuckled his seat belt even faster: "Then why didn't you tell me you were coming earlier? The sun is going down now, and we have to clear the road. I don't know if I will be late today. If I had known earlier, I would have No more skirts..."

She opened the plane door with a clatter, and she realized that the open space next to the house was particularly neat, as if it had been taken care of long ago.

Zhao Yeqing turned around and asked, "Have you been back?"

Mu Xi hesitated: "...Well, I stopped by yesterday."

When he came, he didn't bring the food and paper money provided. Zhao Yeqing dug out the key wrapped in a plastic bag from its old place, opened the door to the yard and wanted to go into the house to look for the unused ones to see if they could still be used now.

After the courtyard door is opened, the first thing you see is the wall that has long been covered with moss. The height of more than one meter from the ground is almost entirely occupied by green.

The fallen leaves on the ground have been swept away, revealing a clean path that can be walked on.

"Did you sweep the yard too?"

The question was not answered by the smiling person behind him. Zhao Yeqing stepped forward and opened the door. A smell of old decay came to his face and flowed behind him. Mu Xi also smelled it.

"I opened the doors and windows yesterday to ventilate, but there has been no ventilation for a long time. The smell will not go away for a while."

Zhao Yeqing nodded and was about to go to get the paper money from the cabinet in the middle of the main room. Mu Xi had already taken out a rattan basket from the bottom of the stairs, which contained prepared incense candles, paper money and packaged food.

"Let's go."

"sickle..."

"No need to take it."

Zhao Yeqing followed Mu Xi into the mountains and discovered that the path leading to the old man's tomb had been cleared at some point.

It's impossible for such a long path to be like this in a long time. She was dragged forward without asking any questions.

The four old people did not choose a specific location at first. They just found a place that was large enough and close enough to hold four coffins. They told their relatives that they would be buried here in the future.

In order to prevent the young people from having to travel across mountains and rivers to find no one when they come back in the future.

The more Zhao Yeqing walked forward, the hotter his eyes became, and his nose was filled with sourness. By the time he arrived in front of the tomb, it was already the last embers of the sunset, and the rich orange twilight shone on the tombstone, adding a layer of dull gray to it. There is a layer of warmth, the weeds on the top have been cleared away, and the surrounding area is as clean and tidy as grandma used to iron the collar of the tunic suit for grandpa every morning.

'It's better to dress smartly. '

Spirit is grandma’s highest evaluation of clothes, just like every little skirt she sewed for herself when she was a child.

Zhao Yeqing squatted in front of the tomb and subconsciously smoothed out the wrinkled hem of his skirt, just like grandma said, 'We good babies should always be in good spirits. '

At this time, the two of them would become particularly quiet. No one would speak, and they would just stay there quietly until the last trace of light was swallowed up by the horizon.

"Walk......"

Before Zhao Yeqing finished speaking, Mu Xi put a finger on his lips and breathed out softly, "Shh."

Her stress reaction in the mountains for so many years made her subconsciously vigilant, thinking that Mu Xi had sensed some dangerous animal nearby. She looked around with a vigilant look on her face, and slowly approached Mu Xi with her feet.

She bumped into a warm wall behind her. She looked up and saw the unconcealed nervousness on Mu Xi's face. She rarely saw Mu Xi with such an expression. Even when the wolves came to the house, Mu Xi never showed such a look. Expression, her heart sank, secretly thinking that they were careless, the two of them forgot to bring shotguns, and wondered if Mu Xi had brought a pistol.

Unable to make a sound, Zhao Yeqing could only raise his hand to rub Mu Xi's body. As soon as his fingertips touched a hard spot, his hand was grabbed and pulled up, turning her direction. As her feet staggered, they became two people. Stand facing each other.

A strange atmosphere spread.

The stumbling movement was not small. Zhao Yeqing finally realized that something was wrong. This was obviously not the way to be alert. Just as he was about to speak, a little light flashed out of the corner of his eye...
