Till death let us meet

Early the next morning, the two went to the cafeteria to settle their breakfast, and then took the bus to the station.Qiao Yu got on the bus first, looked around, found nothing unusual, and signaled to Shen Feng to get on the bus.

"I knew I would have taken the bus yesterday." Shen Feng said with some annoyance.

"It's not necessarily that the bus doesn't have those things, it just happened to be missing this time." Qiao Yu dusted off the dust on the seat and sat down.

"I can get there in an hour."

"it should be OK."

Last night, because he was in a strange place, Shen Feng couldn't fall asleep right away, so the quality of his sleep was quite poor. He almost only slept for two or three hours, and woke up very early in the morning.Sitting on the bus, even the bumps and bumps did not affect his urge to sleep at all. After a while, he snored slightly and fell asleep.

Qiao Yu looked at Shen Feng's sleeping face, the resolute contours of his face, and smiled slightly.This man came miraculously and broke his daily life just like that, but he didn't hate this feeling.Life needs rhythm, but it also needs surprises.Qiao Yu took out a small notebook from his pocket and slowly flipped through it.

Maybe it was because he was too sleepy, Shen Feng didn't wake up even once in the middle of the journey, and just slept until the terminal.

"Little handsome guy, wake up your friend, I have to clean up here." The driver helplessly looked at Shen Feng who was still soundly asleep, and Qiao Yu who was waiting for Shen Feng to wake up.

"……OK."

Qiao Yu hesitated for a while, he is not good at embarrassing others, and it is often difficult to refuse other people's requests.He patted Shen Feng and started to wake him up.

"Shen Feng! Shen Feng, we've arrived!"

The dazed Shen Feng was awakened by Qiao Yu's voice, rubbed his red and swollen eyes, "Are you there?"

"Well, let's go, everyone else is going down."

It was only then that Shen Feng noticed that all the passengers around him had already got off the bus, so he quickly got up and got off the bus after Qiao Yu.

The station is quite dilapidated, and the sign at the exit is covered with black, gray and yellow stains, and it is not even laid flat, but tilted to one side.The two walked towards the exit one after the other. The place may be too remote, even the usual enthusiastic aunts looked lazy, and they were not very active in asking if they wanted accommodation.

Shen Feng took out his mobile phone, looked at the address, and then looked at Qiao Yu's not-so-strong body. Although he should be able to get there in 10 minutes on foot, Professor Qiao shouldn't be allowed to travel such a long distance. He is a man of learning. , unlike a manual laborer like myself, it must be too much.

"Let's take a taxi." Shen Feng suggested.

Qiao Yu didn't object either, and he didn't know how far away he was after getting off the car.Although Shen Feng didn't know the way, he should be better than him who is blind.

The two took a taxi to Gengzi Street near this address.

The Ferry District is a suburban area, completely different from the bustling city center, with a slight rural flavor.There are also some golden osmanthus planted on the side of the road every now and then, and when the wind blows, the lingering fragrance comes to the nostrils, and suddenly fades away.

The shops on the side of the road are tall and short, and they are not very neat. Most of them are remodeled from their own houses, with shops on the first floor and people living on the second floor.However, most of the houses still have house number plates, which look brand new and may have been installed recently.

"No. [-], Jinyu Alley, is still an alley. How do I find it? Ask a resident."

Shen Feng scratched his head and looked around, trying to find a nearby resident to inquire about the situation.There happened to be a place to order milk on the opposite side, and it seemed that she also had a part-time job delivering couriers. The lady who ordered milk was nibbling sunflower seeds boredly, and Shen Feng immediately ran over to inquire.

"Sister, I want to ask you, do you know where the Goldfish Alley is?"

Shen Feng subconsciously looked at the house number above his head, No. 5 Gengzi Street.

"Goldfish alley?" The eldest sister smashed her mouth, spit out a piece of melon seed shell, picked up another one, and smashed it open, "I'm not a local, so I don't know, you can ask the uncle of the incense candle shop opposite."

"Thank you." Shen Feng thanked him, and then walked towards the opposite side. A car sped past, raising a burst of violent grayish-yellow dust. He subconsciously blocked Qiao Yu behind him, as if he was a delicate flower who needed someone. take care of.The dust was eaten by Shen Feng alone, and he became disgraced. He wiped his face, and his hands were blackened.

"The car drives really fast in the country." Shen Feng shook his head, looking at his hands full of ashes, he wanted to rub his clothes on his clothes, while Qiao Yu was on the side, he was a little embarrassed to do these vulgar movements.

Qiao Yu caught a glimpse of his arm blocking the front, lowered her eyes, took a tissue to wipe Shen Feng's face, the tissue was blackened, and handed him a hand to wipe.The two were so close that the sound of breathing could be heard.

Shen Feng withdrew his hand in embarrassment, "I'll go to the other side to have a look."

The old man at the incense and candle shop opposite was a bit old and deaf. Shen Feng asked several times in a daze before the other party understood, and he answered loudly in Shen Feng's ear.

"Goldfish Alley was rebuilt a few years ago, but now it's gone. Here, the house on the opposite side was relocated from Goldfish Alley. Cough, cough, cough." The uncle coughed a few times before he made it clear. He took Shen Feng and handed it over. smoke, stuck behind the ear.

"Across the street? Uncle, do you know Yan Wenyu?" Since this uncle has lived here for a long time, most of the people in this small town are related, so he might know Yan Wenyu.Fearing that the uncle could not hear clearly, Shen Feng raised his voice to ask questions.

"Yan Wenyu?" The uncle paused for a moment, as if thinking about it, "I don't remember this clearly, but if the surname is Yan, the machine noodle shop opposite is named Yan. They are the only family in the town. Go there and ask ask."

After thanking the uncle, Shen Feng greeted Qiao Yu on the side and motioned him to follow.Qiao Yu stood in the wind, her slender body seemed to shrink a little, she hugged her shoulders, stomped her feet and sneezed.

"Ask it out? Ah Choo!"

"The family of the machine noodle shop opposite is Yan, maybe it is Yan Wenyu's family." Seeing Qiao Yu sneezing, Shen Feng frowned, "Are you cold?"

He immediately took off his coat and threw it to Qiao Yu, while he was only wearing a shirt.

"Shen Feng, I'm not cold! One of your shirts will catch a cold!"

Qiao Yu wanted to return the coat, but was blocked by Shen Feng, who held Qiao Yu's hand.The tentacles were icy cold, as if there was a trace of chill, but Shen Feng's hands were extremely warm, like a hot water bottle.

"Put it on." He let go of Qiao Yu's hand and walked towards the opposite side.Qiao Yu hurriedly put on her coat and followed Shen Feng's footsteps.

Another car roared past, rolling up layers of sand and dust.

The female owner of the machine noodle shop was turning over dried noodles to dry, and Shen Feng stepped forward.The other party raised his head, with some messy curly hair permed. He was about 40 years old, and he still had the charm, and he could still see the beauty of his youth.

"Want to buy noodles?" the female shopkeeper asked softly, her voice was soft and very pleasant, which didn't match her age.

"Hello, do you know Yan Wenyu?"

As soon as Shen Feng finished speaking, the female shopkeeper's eyes became sharper, she scanned Shen Feng up and down, and her tone became quite rude.

"What do you want to do with Yan Wenyu?"

There is a joke, this woman definitely knows Yan Wenyu.Shen Feng organized the language in his mind instantly, and a set of rhetoric was torn out.

"Mr. Yan Wenyu used to be my uncle's life assistant for a period of time. Now that my uncle has passed away, he wants to bring something to Mr. Yan. Where does Mr. Yan live now?"

It is impossible for Yan Wenyu to live here, if so, this woman must have called him out directly, instead of asking them with a vigilant look what they wanted him for.

"Life assistant, is that Mr. Qi?"

There was a trace of surprise on the woman's face, she opened her mouth and asked, the noodles in her hand inadvertently crushed several roots.

"Yes, Qi Ling, Mr. Qi, is my uncle."

After being stunned for a moment, the woman put down the noodles in her hand and stood up, "Sit inside."

Sitting down at the table, the woman poured two glasses of water for Shen Feng and Qiao Yu. The hot water was steaming in the glass. Qiao Yu took the glass, and his cold hands instantly found warmth.

"My younger brother, Wen Yu, is dead."

She pointed to the portrait in front of the altar and said.

There were two people in front of the altar, one was an old man, and the other was a rather handsome young man, who should be the woman's younger brother, the person they were looking for.

Originally standing silently behind Shen Feng, Qi Ling's soul, who had never made any unnecessary movements, began to shake his head sadly, standing in front of Yan Wenyu's portrait, as if it was difficult to accept the other party's death.

Shock appeared in Shen Feng's eyes. He thought of many reasons why Yan Wenyu left, but he did not expect that he was already dead.Qiao Yu clenched the cup in his hand, he didn't expect this result.

"Before Wenyu left, I had to contact Mr. Qi, but his phone was broken, and I couldn't find Mr. Qi's contact information." The woman covered her face, tears streaming down her fingers, as if she The pain in my heart was squeezed out.

"When did Mr. Yan die? How did he die?"

Shen Sheng asked the question, and Shen Feng took a deep breath.

"About a year ago, he had severe diabetes, so he went to the hospital to get insulin and came back for injections. On the way back, he encountered a tired truck and got into an accident."

The woman's expression was lonely, and the grief congealed in her eyes almost turned into a sharp sword that stabbed the two people watching.

"He kept calling for Mr. Qi before he died, so I hoped to find Mr. Qi and come to see him, but he hit his head and suddenly deteriorated. It was only a day and he just went away."

"Have you never met Mr. Qi?"

Yan Wenyu has taken care of Qi Ling for many years, logically speaking, his family should be familiar with Qi Ling.

"Well, Wen Yu said that Mr. Qi doesn't like to meet outsiders, so we haven't met. But Mr. Qi is a very good person. At that time, I was seriously ill. It was Mr. Qi who lent money to Wen Yu, saying that he was in Wenyu took it from his salary, and we are not allowed to pay it back. Mr. Qi, he is a good man, did he die of illness?"

The woman looked at Shen Feng with doubts in her eyes.

After thinking about it for a long time, Shen Feng decided not to tell about Qi Ling's matter, otherwise this sister would be more sad and blame herself. Since the only people who knew about it were him and Qiao Yu, then let this matter be buried forever.Qiao Yu felt that his palms were sweating from the heat, and it hurt a little.

"Yes, he died of cancer a few days ago. Sister, I would like to ask where Mr. Xia Yan's grave is. We want to pay homage to him."

Shen Feng bit his lips, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and asked where Yan Wenyu was.

"I have nothing to do now, I'll take you there by car."

The woman walked into the inner room, called out a half-grown boy who was playing with a mobile phone, and told him to look after the store, and then led the two of them to the front of a white Wuling Hongguang parked at the door.

"Just sit in the back."

"Wait, I'll go buy some paper and incense."

Shen Feng quickly ran to the incense and candle shop on the opposite side where he was asking questions, and bought incense sticks and yellow paper.Qiao Yu got into the car first and waited for him.

Skillfully started the car, although the road was a bit uneven, and there was even a completely unpaved dirt road, but the woman drove steadily, and soon carried Shen Feng and Qiao Yu to the cemetery.The vegetation here is lush, full of rapeseed, and there is a very small river beside it, which seems to be connected to the outside river, and the water inside is still flowing.

"When my younger brother was buried here, the rape blossoms were blooming very well, and there were golden flowers everywhere. Walk a little further inside and you will be there."

The woman leads the way in front, her thin figure looks weak, but her steps are firm.On a simple tomb, there is a photo of Yan Wenyu, the corners of his lips are slightly raised, as if he is smiling.

"You should worship first, I'll wait for you outside." The woman couldn't restrain her emotions, cried out, and ran away from the cemetery.

Shen Feng lit the incense stick with a lighter, put it in the incense burner in front of the grave, found an iron bucket and a wooden stick, lit the yellow paper on it, then took out the letter Qi Ling wrote to Yan Wenyu from his pocket, threw it Into the fire, watching the high flames, engulfed the letter paper.

Qi Ling behind him opened his mouth to Shen Feng, as if saying thank you, and then disappeared.Shen Feng always felt that he was reunited with Yan Wenyu. Since they were no longer in this world, could they still meet in another world?

Qiao Yu stood five meters away and looked around.

"They are reunited." He said so, and then quickly approached Shen Feng, perhaps in the cemetery, there were too many dead souls here, and Qiao Yu couldn't get used to it.He leaned against Shen Feng, trembling a little.

"Are you still cold?" Shen Feng turned around and hugged Qiao Yu. The person beside him was so thin that he couldn't help hugging him even tighter, "Are your hands still cold?"

He let go of Qiao Yu, held his still warm hand, and felt that thin hand gradually warmed up. When was the last time he held someone else's hand like this.

"Actually, Yan Wenyu didn't abandon Qi Ling, it was Qi Ling who gave up on herself." Shen Feng recalled the room that was so wrapped in cockroaches that the original color could not be seen.

"Yes, but Yan Wenyu is probably the only warmth that can be felt in Qiling's world. Once it is lost, it will be lost forever. He is completely obsessed with this warmth, no longer looking for other salvation, and finally destroyed himself."

Qiao Yu said softly, his voice seemed to be blown to pieces by the wind, with no sense of reality and erratic.The hand he was holding became warm. Did Qi Ling feel the same warmth from Yan Wenyu?

After the two worshiped, they walked out of the cemetery and followed Yan Wenyu's sister back to the small town.After getting out of the car, the two bid farewell to Yan Wenyu's sister and were about to leave. The other party pointed out the direction of the bus stop where they could take it.They walked in the direction they pointed in silence.

The wind didn't show any signs of getting smaller, but it was getting bigger and bigger, blowing so much that people hardly dared to open their eyes, and the sand and dust rolled by the roadside became more and more violent.A car rushing from behind kept approaching while swinging the S bend.Shen Feng didn't notice it.

When he found out, the car was too close to avoid it.

Qiao Yu reached out to pull him, but was pushed further away, Shen Feng worried that Qiao Yu would be hurt.Perhaps just for a moment, Shen Feng was enveloped by a strange light, and he rolled into the mud on the side of the road. The car that was driving like a drunk continued to move forward until it hit the brick wall on the side of the road.There was a loud bang.

"Shen Feng, Shen Feng! Do you want to be okay? Do you want to go to the hospital?" Qiao Yu stepped forward and asked nervously. Shen Feng was covered in mud and looked in a mess.

But Shen Feng didn't say a word, and started to dig out his pants pocket. The kitten key chain in the pocket was broken, and then the key chain disappeared bit by bit in front of the two of them.Shen Feng looked around blankly, as if he was looking for something.

"The key chain disappeared..." Qiao Yu looked at the key chain that disappeared in front of him in amazement, but he didn't care to pay attention to the vision. He was only busy looking up and down Shen Feng, groping on his head, for fear that he would bump into something up.

"...Little Qiao, it's gone." Shen Feng looked around in a daze.

The author has something to say:

There is one last story, so it’s over. I want to write the story from the beginning to the end. But it’s probably more interesting to write about the couple catching ghosts.
