Into the modern comprehension

The crazy old man said that the water in the sinking river comes from the legendary weak water. Sink, drown he didn't discuss.

However, the river in the back mountain of Shenjia Town is neither wide nor deep. Although a section of its water flow is hidden in the mountains and forests, it is not difficult to find its upstream source. How can it hook up with the weak water?

When Shen He asked about such geographical knowledge, the crazy old man's muddy eyes turned clear again during the conversation. He scratched his hair and turned the messy white hair into a chicken coop. It was muttering to himself: "Yeah, why are these two related, who told me! Who told me! Why can't I remember!"

The crazy old man didn't care about the existence of Sui Erqi and Shen He in the room, he directly hugged his head, became dazed, and sat on the chair without moving.

Shen He was a little disappointed. He thought that he could find something useful from the crazy old man, but who would have thought that just seeing the other party would really make him mentally disturbed.

Sui Erqi and Shen He didn't interrupt the crazy old man's contemplation anymore, the two left the crazy old man's house, put aside the matter about the ghost show and Shen He, and wholeheartedly moved the tomb of Sui Dad Sui Mom first. up.

As Mayor Shi said, although the river suddenly flooded the cemetery this time, not many people were actually affected by the disaster. Because of the age of this cemetery, there are both coffins and urns buried underground. Relatively speaking, ashes are buried The box is easier to move to the grave.

Sui Er Qi buried them together when the grave was moved this time.When the monument was erected, not only Sui Erqi's name, but also Sui Yuanqi's name was engraved on it.

Shen He looked at the name of the person who erected the monument on the tombstone, and he knew that the elder brother of Sui Erqi had never returned when his father and mother were buried together. According to the time, he disappeared for almost 18 years, "Your elder brother Still no news at all?"

Sui Erqi neither shook his head nor nodded, he just looked at the word Sui Yuanqi on the tombstone, he didn't remember the face of his elder brother at all, his elder brother was 20 years older than him.His father said that when he was four years old, his eldest brother disappeared, and no one knew where he went, and his father never mentioned the reason for his disappearance.

When Sui Erqi was sensible, his mother passed away. Later, he heard gossip that there was a connection between the death of his mother and the disappearance of his eldest brother, which meant that his mother couldn’t afford to be ill because of his grief over the disappearance of his eldest brother. , In addition, my father's situation was not good at that time, and my mother couldn't bear the blow and didn't make it through.But whether Sui Yuanqi is dead or alive, no one knows whether he was murdered in that special era, or whether he fled to avoid persecution, and there has been no news of it in the past few years.

If Sui Yuanqi was still alive, why didn't he go home to have a look? After all, the situation in the country has become more relaxed in recent years, so it is very likely that he has been missing for 18 years, which is long enough to declare his death.It's just that in life one wants to see people and in death one wants to see corpses. Before Sui's father was about to die, he never believed that his eldest son was dead. He always firmly believed that one day Sui Yuanqi would come home.

"Who knows." Sui Erqi is reluctant to mention Sui Yuanqi, he has no deep brotherly affection for his elder brother, even in his dream he can't see Sui Yuanqi's face clearly, that's really nothing Impressed. "It doesn't matter whether you come back or not."

Shen He immediately slapped himself in the heart, telling you to ask nonsense, why can't you hold back your words, you have to change the subject quickly, "Let's go along the Shen River to have a look, it's powerful enough, once the water level It flooded more than half of the cemetery. Speaking of which, I remember the first time we met was by the Shen River, you climbed a tree to read a book, you see that crooked neck tree is still there!"

Sui Erqi looked at the crooked neck tree, that tree was in the bushes, it was the tree he felt most comfortable after he climbed a few trees and tried the seat comfort of the branches, it was like a child in the town Even if he didn't go, he could steal the quiet in the tree, mainly because it was better to hide his liking for reading back then.So he loved to climb trees since he was a child, and he didn't meet any strange people after climbing for five years. He met Shen He on the day when he was about to enter junior high school.

"Well, I remember the face you were crying at that time, the snot and the tears, it was so noisy that I couldn't read the book cleanly." Sui Erqi's first impression of Shen He was that he was a crybaby. Almost all the boys were twelve or thirteen years old, and they would secretly come out and cry alone, which really made Sui Erqi feel quite fresh, so he watched Shen He from the tree for a while.

"I told you earlier that this scene must be completely deleted from your mind! I am a wise and mighty image, and I have never cried."

Shen He refused to admit the dark history back then, anyway, no one could prove it except Sui Erqi.Shen He didn't grow up in Shenjia Town. Shen's father left Jiangnan very early to go out to work hard. Over the past ten years, with the turmoil of the current situation, Shen's father had ups and downs several times. The day when Shen He met Sui Erqi The year is the darkness before dawn, Father Shen specially sent Shen He back to his hometown to be raised by Grandpa Shen.

Shen He met Sui Erqi at the lowest point of his life and the most sentimental adolescence, and the two became friends.

Until now, Shen He himself still remembers how he felt when he was crying sadly, when he suddenly saw a living person jumping down from the tree, he was really shocked, and then he looked at Sui Erqi's cold face , he had a feeling that a man was crying, it was embarrassing to be discovered, but he immediately sighed that the man in front of him was so good at climbing trees, and he gave birth to a heart of admiration.In short, when I was young, I was easily shocked and confused, so I became friends with Sui Erqi.

"I kind of want to eat Dongpo meat made by Uncle Sui." Shen He's stomach growled as he recalled this. In fact, he was able to become friends with Sui Erqi, who didn't like to talk, because he really couldn't do without Sui Dad's existence.Different from the strict father Shen, Sui Dad is the representative of a loving father.When you go to Suijia, you usually don’t get any good food. It’s just that in Sui Erqi’s third year of high school, Shen He brought a few catties of pork to visit for New Year’s greetings. He was lucky enough to eat Sui Dad’s roasted Dongpo pork, and that’s when he knew what is lost. Delicious on earth.It's a pity, Sui Erqi didn't inherit any of Sui's father's skills.

Shen He had no choice but to sigh, "It is said that Xiao Li's flying knife is perfect, and Chu Liuxiang is not seen in the world. This is also an artistic conception of Sui Shu's Dongpo meat, which is rarely tasted in the world."

Sui Erqi didn't answer Shen He's words, he watched the water of the Shen River rushing towards the distance in front of him, there is nothing in this world that can last forever.

Even if you believe what the crazy old man says is true, that this ordinary little river was once connected to the Weak Water, and that is only the past.

However, the crazy old man didn't think so.

On the night of April 4, that is, the No. 17 night after Qingming, the crazy old man went out alone.

Tonight, he was wearing a Taoist robe. This robe was old, and it had been torn in several places. The damaged places had not been repaired. However, if one looked carefully under the moonlight, the embroidery patterns on this robe were Lifelike, it is definitely not a cheap item found on a street stall.

That night, when the crazy old man went out, the moon was thin, and it was already 11:30. He held a stack of yellow paper and a mahogany sword in his hand, and ran from the small town to the Shen riverside.

Who could have imagined that after half an hour, it would be close to midnight, when the moon was suddenly covered by a cloud of dark clouds, and there was no light on the Shenhe River.

Just in such an instant, the river suddenly roared, and there was no wind on the dark river, and there were waves, as if something was about to break through the water from the bottom of the river.

The crazy old man looked around, and there was no one else except him. Everyone was busy moving the grave these two days, and they were tired during the day. Who would come out to play tonight.

"They don't believe me. If they don't believe me, there's really no time. But this is good, this is good! It's better to kill one than to die." The crazy old man picked up the mahogany sword in his right hand, and held the yellow paper between the index finger and middle finger of his left hand. Rinku drew a strange figure, and saw the yellow paper dyed whizzingly, rushing towards the shadow in the river.

The crazy old man followed the direction of the yellow paper, picked up the mahogany sword and rushed towards the river.

No one saw that the crazy old man was treading water without trace at this time, and after he rushed to the river, a thick black mist suddenly appeared on the river, and the crazy old man could not be seen clearly.

Swish, swish, as if there was a sound of swords whistling in the wind, but everything seemed to be an illusion. It didn't take long, that is, after about 10 minutes, the black mist dissipated, and a corpse floated on the river. The old man didn't have a mahogany sword in his hand, and his Taoist robe was also broken into pieces.

"Don't go..." The crazy old man's voice rang in Sui Erqi's ears, and when he opened his eyes, it was a dream again. In the dream, the crazy old man's head was about to sink to the bottom of the river, but he struggled to yell at him. If so, where should I go?
