Rebirth alone

A few days ago, Ye Tao was busy taking the driver's license test and preparing for the new store. He didn't have time to think about other things. After two days of free time, Zhou Ziqian's incident happened again. Come to think of it, the fifteenth day of this month is the Ghost Festival, a day to sweep the graves of our ancestors.

Before, I only thought about offering incense on the fifteenth day, but I almost forgot about more important things, and I didn't prepare any paper money for incense sticks.Not only that, Ye Tao's parents and Uncle Sun who Ye Tao wants to worship have not yet been buried in a cemetery. The tombs of the two elders and Uncle Sun are on two diagonally opposite corners on the outskirts of the capital, and they are far away from Yeya Lake. It is obvious to make arrangements now Can't make it in time.

Ye Tao was thinking about this, so Duoning, who was watching the night today, came to ask for help.Duoning was worried about waking up Gu Jiuqing next door, knocking on the door was like a thief, knocked on Ye Tao's door carefully, and said in a low voice: "The second young master woke up after you left for a while, dangling around and refusing Sleep, I don't want to disturb your sleep, but really..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Ziqian wandered out, and one of the slippers on his feet fell off, just like a child who wakes up in the middle of the night and finds that his parents are not around. Tears shouted: "Mom, where are you?"

Duo Ning said with a sad face, "Just strolling back and forth like this. I have been wandering around the house for more than an hour. No matter how coaxed I am, I refuse to go to bed."

Ye Tao was tired of being helpless, so he went directly to take Zhou Ziqian's arm and took him back to the bedroom.At this time, he is quite obedient. If you lead him away, he will follow him, if you let him sit, he will sit, if you let him lie down, he will lie down, but because he can't understand the words, he can only be guided by actions.

Ye Tao settled him down, sat on the chair beside the bed, and waited for him to fall asleep. After a while, he didn't close his eyes, and sighed bitterly: "Do you want me to sing you a lullaby?"

Zhou Ziqian naturally wouldn't respond, but Duoning on the side felt a little sorry for hearing this.

"It's been hard for you these few days." Duo Ning also understood that Ye Tao's willingness to come was already very benevolent, and he didn't want to cause him any more trouble, but the second young master of his family chose Ye Tao alone, and no one would coax him. Fortunately, he is also very helpless.

Ye Tao shook his head, turned the desk lamp to the darkest, sat on the bed, and covered Zhou Ziqian's empty eyes with his hands.

Zhou Ziqian was quiet for a while, then took off the hand covering his eyes, and held it in his hand.

Duoning looked at them from the side, and couldn't help but said, "Young Master Sun, don't blame him, the second young master had no choice but to send you away. After you left, the second young master has been thinking about you. There are many things. Master Yunyang is sick at home. There are gossips outside, saying that you were killed by the second young master. The company is also full of smog. He really can’t get away from him so he rarely visits you. It’s hard to find time to visit Back, I was afraid that you would not be happy to see him, so I rushed all the way to see him through the fence, it was not easy for him."

Duo Ning was discharged from the army due to injury, and he was still very young when he came to the Zhou family to work, and it has been eight years in a blink of an eye.Although he couldn't agree with some of Zhou Ziqian's actions, he could see how much Zhou Ziqian attached importance to this nephew.

To this day, he still clearly remembers the night when Ye Tao's life was hanging by a thread. The frail and sickly boy was imprisoned in an abandoned factory building. When he entered the room, Ye Tao was so weak that he could barely breathe.Zhou Ziqian, who was about to go crazy looking for someone, mistakenly thought that he was dead, so he held him in his arms, as if he was afraid that he would be snatched away by others, and didn't allow anyone to touch him. At that time, the madness and grief on Zhou Ziqian's face were like lost everything.

"...And when the funeral was held at home, Yang Zi and I carried the child pretending to be you into the coffin. The second young master knew that it was not you, but when the coffin was closed, his face was as pale as a paper doll. Send the idlers away, and the child will come out of the coffin, and he will be relieved."

"On the day of the funeral, Yunyang vomited blood all over his body, and his filial piety was stained red. He insisted on going to the funeral. He didn't know that the coffin was empty, so he felt sorry for his sadness, but when the second young master helped him out, his own The legs were also shaking. The two of them almost stumbled out of the door. During the road sacrifice, they supported each other and almost fell in front of the coffin. Afterwards, some people chewed their tongues and said that they were pretending, but they were actually happy. But no one The acting tricked me into it together? The second young master was in a trance at that time, unable to tell what was real and what was fake, he was afraid that you would really be lying in the coffin."

Duo Ning knew about the affairs of the master's family, he was not good to talk about it as a bodyguard, but he knew too much and saw too much, even the bystanders would feel bored.

"Master Sun, don't blame me for talking too much. I'm not telling you to forgive him. It's just that he has become like this. If no one tells you this, you may feel that you are troublesome if you stay here to take care of him. Like a thorn stuck."

Ye Tao's eyelashes drooped slightly, and he didn't know how much he listened to, and whether he took it to heart.

Duo Ning stopped talking with a sigh, looked at Zhou Ziqian who was breathing calmly, and said softly, "Second Young Master fell asleep."

Ye Tao, who didn't say a word or express anything, then moved, and gently pulled back the hand he was holding. Before he got up and left, he finally spoke, but he said to Duo Ning: "Tell Yang Zi, help me tomorrow." I'll bring back some ghost paper."

When he came out of Zhou Ziqian's bedroom, Ye Tao saw Gu Jiuqing leaning in the corridor, his handsome side face was covered with a warm yellow halo under the reflection of the wall lamp, but his expression did not make people feel warm, On the contrary, it was so quiet that even Ye Tao felt a little strange.

Ye Tao rubbed his hair, and said softly, "Do you want to sleep with uncle?"

The corners of Gu Jiuqing's lips turned up, and he hugged Ye Tao's arm. There was a bit of coquettishness in his Qingyue voice: "I want to hug and sleep."

Ye Tao looked at him and said, "I'll try my best, I can't even hug him when I grow so big."

Gu Jiuqing immediately said, "I'll sleep with my uncle in my arms."

The next morning, Yang Zi, who went shopping, brought back the ghost paper that Ye Tao wanted.Because Ye Tao didn't say which one he wanted, he bought all kinds, and packed them in strong black bags, two heavy bags.

The sky has been gloomy since the morning, and it began to drizzle in the afternoon. The rain did not intensify, and it was not too big or too small until it was dark.

After dinner, Ye Tao informed Duoning and Yang Zizhi, telling them to watch Zhou Ziqian and prepare to burn the paper money at a nearby intersection.

Yang Zi was very thoughtful, thinking that there were reed marshes nearby, and it would take 10 minutes to walk to the nearest intersection, so he drove him and Gu Jiuqing there.

The intersection is not big, and there are few street lights. Because it is remote and rainy, there are not many people burning paper.

Yang Zi parked the car on the side of the road and unlocked the trunk first.Ye Tao got out of the car and went to the trunk to get the ghost paper, but Gu Jiuqing stopped him and gave him an umbrella and told him to wait.

"Yang Zi, you are so honest, I really want to give you a loving grasp." Gu Jiuqing held the two big bags of ghost paper in his hand, and looked at Yang Zi quietly.

Yang Zi looked back at Master Jiu deeply and suspiciously, obviously he didn't understand what it meant to grasp.

Gu Jiuqing said helplessly: "Liaodao is not a sacrifice to the heavens. Why do you buy so much paper? It's still raining. When will this burn?"

Yang Zi looked at the two bags of ghost paper, reached out to take them over, and asked Gu Jiuqing with a deep expression, "What is a catch?"

Gu Jiuqing was amused: "Are you so stupid and cute?"

Stupid mean stupid, right?Yang Zi, who doesn't play Weibo and doesn't hang out with forums, was thinking deeply. It wasn't until Ye Tao lit the fire that he said again: "Mr. Gu, you just stepped on duck shit."

Gu Jiuqing paused, raised the soles of his feet to take a look, his face turned green, and rubbed the soles of his shoes against the curbs, whining and complaining: "Why didn't you remind me when you saw it?"

Yang Zidan said: "I'm stupid and cute."

Gu Jiuqing's teeth itched with hatred, and after rubbing the soles of his shoes, he came back, scratched Yang Zi's shoulders, touched Yang Zi's shoulders gently, and finally told him with a smile: "This is the love version."

Yang Zi wisely did not ask Master Jiu for advice on how to operate the loveless version.

The paper was only half burnt when Yang Zi's cell phone rang suddenly. As soon as he pressed the answer button, Duo Ning's anxious voice came from the receiver: "Yang Zi, the Second Young Master is gone!"
