Ghostbuster

The 28th of the twelfth lunar month.The bustling Zhaoxi City used to be less populated, and small vendors in the streets are also pushing their carts to drive home. No matter where they go, they can smell the fragrance of every household's New Year's food.When every family was busy, all the lanterns in Mengling were hung at the foot of the mountain. It was supposed to be a joyous festival, but only intermittent crying was heard at the mountain gate.

"Senior, brother, be careful all the way." Xi Feiling sniffed, with a look of reluctance.

"Yes, you guys remember that you must come back before the fifteenth day!" Zuo Ming comforted Xi Feiling while wiping away his tears.

"Brother, we will celebrate the New Year with you in advance!"

"Xiao Jin! Let's play together again when we come back!"

"Master Bai, Mr. Gan, you too!"

Seeing that everything was fully equipped, Jiang Yi didn't want to delay any longer. Several people waved their hands and said New Year's blessings before leaving in dust.

"By the way, where are you guys going?"

"It seems to be Huaizhou."

"How is it possible? Can you make it in two days?"

"Maybe."

"Are you sure you're not kidding me?"

Certainly not.

When Jiang Yi left Mengling, he roared, "Mother, this is definitely trying to torment me! Why do you believe that I will arrive, you believe that I will die!"

In order to arrive in Huaizhou before the New Year, everyone rushed on the road non-stop. Fortunately, the stores at each station were not closed, and they could occasionally rest.

The wind blowing across the cheeks was as sharp as a needle, and the pain was constantly covered by wind and frost and became numb.Along the way, we faced strong winds, drizzle, and even hail.I am even more respectful to Xi Yansheng in my heart, and tossing people with different methods, Jiang is really old and spicy!

After wiping their noses, everyone hurried to go again. Aren't they going to be exposed to the cold wind? Are you afraid of this even after being exposed to knives?

Then I would rather suffer a knife!

December 29.The weather is fine, except for the hands and feet that are too cold to move, everything is normal, at least they are still alive.

"I said the days of confinement were so leisurely, and the co-authors are waiting for us here." Jiang Yi leaned against Xi Ziqi, eyes empty, and he couldn't bear to move his eyelids.

"Brother Wulang, can you be happy?"

Everyone glanced at each other, suddenly remembered the great deeds along the way, and somehow laughed happily.

"Happy, happy!" Jiang Yi couldn't close his mouth with a smile, "I will never forget it."

"Don't speak too soon."

"shut up!"

Thirty of the twelfth lunar month.As soon as Haishi passed, the silent night sky also began to make noise, and the bells and firecrackers and fireworks from afar awakened the supposedly quiet jungle.

Listening to the sound that heralds the arrival of the new year, Xi Zhen began to recall many beautiful things. With the company of his family for more than [-] years, and the friendship of his brothers and sisters for more than [-] years, he turned his eyes, and now he has two friends. It is enough to stay together with all my heart and soul for more than ten years.

"Damn! This is going to freeze me to death! Hiss——"

"Can this freeze you to death? I don't think it will freeze you if you are thrown into a glacier."

"Wouldn't it be bad to replace you?"

"I'm no match for Brother Wulang, you have a thick skin hahaha, now you're like a soaked chicken, and if you wait any longer, you'll be a frozen chicken."

"Do something! I have to kill you today!"

"Wulang, rest like this."

"If it's not for Sang Rang's sake, you can see that I can't be destroyed."

"Fifth senior brother, you can shut up now."

"Ruo'er, you are biased!"

Xi Zhen's round eyes were fixed on the entrance, and after a while, he saw twos and threes holding a bunch of packages in their hands, one by two leisurely striding forward, Jiang Yi at the front just stepped on the bridge when he heard the bell ringing.

"Oh, it's a coincidence, senior brother, long time no see!"

Gan Qingsi also said, "Brother Xi, long time no see!"

"Eldest brother, here are the new clothes that the head entrusted me to bring you, as well as Lan Xiao's wedding candy, and the pastries from the bride are also there." Xi Ziqi smiled, "By the way, elder brother, long time no see."

"Senior brother, we are here." Xi Ruobai said.

The few people seemed to have traveled far away to go home and talk about their daily life. This familiar feeling made Xi Zhen's eyes dim with tears, and the moment the corners of his mouth raised, the tears also fell down, "You guys...,"

Regardless of the two big bags in his hand, Jiang Yi walked up and hugged him, "I know you must miss me to death."

Xi Zhen's nose was even more sore, and she recovered and put her hand on it, "Yes."

"Brother, I want to eat the dumplings you made."

"Is there anything I can do?" Xi Zhen said helplessly.

Jiang Yi raised the package in his hand and smiled, "It's all here. We came here hungry, why don't you prepare a New Year's Eve dinner for us?"

"Give."

Xi Zhen took it with a smile and walked into the inner room.

Those who fell behind did not follow, Jiang Yi said, "Brother, he is fine."

Xi Ziqi nodded with a smile.

"It's because I think too much." Jiang Yi originally thought that Xi Zhen hid in Chonglianxuan just to escape reality, but in fact, such a peaceful life seems to be very suitable, just like how he feels. "Sang Rang, isn't 13 years too short?"

"It may be short for us, but it is very long for the elder brother."

If Xi Zhen heard this, he would definitely say, um, it is very long, so long that he is afraid that he will forget the appearance of that person again.

Xi Zhen's cooking skills are terrible, so bad that everyone would rather starve to death than touch a little bit. The only thing they ate was Shanguiyao, but that was 14 years ago.Many years later, Xi Zhen was already a person in charge of half the kitchen alone, but unfortunately, that person never had the chance again.

If there is any major problem with Xi, it is that he is extremely picky about food, and his requirements for food can be said to be the same as his level of spiritual cultivation. Very fussy.Until he now recalled the wild vegetable soup that the man cooked for him with a smile.

There is very little oil and water, it is bland, and the taste of the dish is bitter. It is really uncomfortable when passing the tongue, but Xi Zhen thinks it is delicious in the world.He even wondered if Guoshan Guiyao put some addictive drugs in it, if so, it was really bad.He went crazy trying to cook the same taste, but the result was always unsatisfactory.Something was always missing, he thought for a long time, and then he realized that it was that person who was gone.

If Xi could really taste that kind of wild vegetable soup again, he would definitely cry, for sure.

The cheers of the New Year are conveyed even in the remote Chonglian Pavilion, where the tables are already filled with hot dumplings and delicious meals.Everyone cobbled together two tables and eight benches, sitting around the fire while moving the dishes.

"First of all, I would like to toast my elder brother. His first visit must have surprised him." Jiang Yi raised his glass, and Xi Zhen raised his glass as a gesture.

"Secondly, I want to toast to Sang Rang. It's a new year and a new atmosphere. I hope he and his partner will continue like this." Jiang Yi poured another glass, and the mat next to him was about to drink after clinking glasses. One sound.

"No! Dissatisfied!" Gan Qingsi first raised his opinion, "Just clink glasses? Don't express any more?"

"Bring a glass of wine!" Jin Yutang booed, "Ohhhhh!"

"I agree!" Bai Tong said.

"Secondary!" Gan Yungui also became interested.

Jiang Yi pointed at the group of people who watched the excitement and said, "Look at you, what kind of thoughts are you all thinking! You are almost catching up with me, Jiang Wulang, so relieved. Hehe, Sang Rang, we can't Let the people down, right?"

Xi Ziqi smiled helplessly and took the initiative to circle his hand, "Jiang Wulang, I think you don't want to be disappointed."

"Drink one and go!" The two exchanged glasses and drank in unison like slogans.

"Cough cough, and then, toast my junior brother, the longer you grow, the more beautiful you become, the better you become hahaha."

Are you sure you're not talking about Junior Sister?

Xi Ruobai also drank silently.

"And then it's our work! Wow, this year, the good and the bad have all caught up with him, brother Qingsi, must one go?"

As soon as Gan Qingsi toasted, Xi Ruobai took it. Although he didn't speak, everyone understood what he meant. After all, Gan Qingsi was injured, so he could understand.

"Wait Ruo'er, how can you help him drink?" Jiang Yi asked intentionally.

Xi Ruobai drank calmly, "What's the difference between his and mine?"

There was a lot of joking between his brows, he said, "Oh——that's it. Next, we should pay respects to our little brother Bai. I have never talked about ghosts with others so happily. Brother Qingsi like that. I won't say much, anyway, little brother Bai has a bright future! Come, come, come!"

Bai Tong smiled and folded his sleeves to take the wine glass, and because the distance between the two was far away, he tilted slightly to clink the glasses, and then drank it down in one gulp.

"Happy, happy! This is Brother Gan. We've met each other a long time ago. You're very good! Anyway, we all came here together through hardships. You can continue to hang out with me in the future!"

Gan Yungui and Jiang Yi also talked happily in those few days, so they responded, "Of course! Of course! Brother Jiang is mighty!"

"In the end, it's our lovely little brother Jin, that, little brother Bai, bring back his wine."

Bai Tong also quickly poured the other party's wine into his own glass.

"Why, brother Jiang Yi, I'm eighteen!" Jin Yutang was very dissatisfied. All the time, everyone let him run away, but he was not allowed to drink. He was really curious. Too much!

"Eighteen is not allowed, wait until you get married."

"Brother Jiang Yi, I'm married." Jin Yutang replied with a half smile.

"That's right, don't worry about it. As for the last little brother Jin, I hope you can drink in the bar next year, brother can wait."

Jin Yutang drank the white water sullenly, and was so wronged that he wanted to cry.

Jiang Yi turned a blind eye and said, "Young people, don't be too pessimistic. Don't be too young like us adults who are too early in the world."

"Brother Jiang Yi, you are lying!"

"Hahahaha!"

"The last one is for everyone here." Jiang Yi stretched out his wine glass.

Everyone laughed in unison again, "Happy New Year!"

When the bell rang at midnight, the sky seemed to sing the New Year's hymn, accepting the laughter of all things.The fireworks are in full bloom, the smiles are flourishing, and you are all doing well in the new year.

Everyone was noisy, this Chonglian Pavilion, which had been silent for a long time, finally came alive, warming people's hearts.

Gan Qingsi raised the cup, it contained clear water, he took it back after showing it to Xi Ruobai for inspection, "Ting Huan, what wish do you have for the new year?"

He thought for a long time, and finally said, "Same life with you." Xi Ruobai said the four words in an extremely flat tone, but the real emotion in his eyes stunned Gan Qingsi.

Gan Qing Si laughed suddenly, as bright as fireworks falling into his eyes, like a promise or a prayer, he said, "Xi Tinghuan, I will live the same life as you after many years."

Xi Ruobai's cup touched him lightly, and the two of them swallowed their hearts with their heads up.

Water is sweet, and so is wine.

In the middle of the night, everyone was so tired that they were stumbling around. Fortunately, they were still slightly drunk and could still walk back to their residence. Xi Zhen had already taken advantage of the time when everyone was eating and drinking to tidy up the bamboo house, and a few of them laid the floor The floor of the bed, the bed of the bed.After a tiring journey, everyone was blessed to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain. With the aftertaste of being full of wine and food, even drowsiness came very quickly, and the sleep was very sweet.

Xi Ziqi helped Jiang Yi into the cave, only to find that compared with the spacious bamboo house, the cave has traces of people living in it. Although he doesn't know why Xi Zhen lives in the dilapidated cave, no matter how he guesses, he probably can't do without the mountain. That's it.

"Sang Rang, you and Yi'er go to bed first, I'll be back later." Xi Zhen left the cave alone after speaking.

Late at night is the most deserted, the firewood has been extinguished and the candles are extinguished, only the stars are few and the wind is endless.

One person squatted in front of the tombstone with half a jug of wine and two cups. He filled up the wine, with some joy in his eyes, "I am very happy today. They all came to see me and spent the New Year with me. You know Is it? Everyone ate the dumplings I made, but you didn't, if you were, you must be messing around again." The drink overflowed and he didn't stop, "I'm starting to regret it, I shouldn't have told you 13 It's too long, do you know how much I blame you?" He choked up for a long time and said, "Do you know how much I miss you."

He picked up the wine glass and touched the glass in front of the tombstone, the movement was very light, as if he was afraid of disturbing the sleeping person.

Let the spiciness run through your throat and nose, and let the bitterness fill your heart.He opened his lips and said, "Guiyao, happy new year, I'm still 12 years away from you."
