die

The area near the wall is surrounded by red tape.A mottled halberd is standing in it.

After opening the door, that feeling dissipated immediately.Zhang Deng looked around and found some dusty things, his attention quickly returned to the halberd.

The halberd seemed to be made of steel, or it seemed to be made of iron, he couldn't tell clearly.

It's just that it seems to be approaching Zhang Deng in the dark, giving him an illusion of "seen".

Many people have had this experience: walking in a street market, they had no intention of shopping, but found something while strolling in the courtyard.It may be unnecessary for their lives, such as jade pendants, gold and silver ornaments, sabers, musical instruments, and clothing.

But at that moment, they felt that such things should belong to them, and they couldn't let others take them away.So he emptied his pockets and took out all the money in his hand. Sometimes he needed to borrow it if it wasn't enough, and finally got this item.

Rubbing day and night, facing each other day and night, those who are interested are naturally dancing guns and swords, learning to play and sing, and keeping jade pendants and other accessories by their side, gradually it will be a lifetime.

This is a kind of fate, the fate of the utensil and the owner.It may be that the physical memory of the previous life makes people recognize the uniqueness of the utensils in an instant, cherish each other and integrate with them.

This is how Zhang Deng felt at the moment.

The halberd was covered with green spots and the patterns were indistinct. He walked over and looked at it carefully, but felt that it was not enough, so he stretched out his hand out of nowhere.He picked up the halberd from the shelf, and was surprised to find that the halberd was only slightly heavy, and it was not difficult to lift.He looked around, circled the ring with his arms left and right, and played a gun game.

He was also surprised and felt that it felt good.

"Little brother, do you want... eh?" Huang Yunfei pushed the door open and came in, just in time to see Zhang Deng holding a long halberd and gesticulating.

Zhang Deng was frightened half to death, let go of his hand, and the halberd fell to the floor with a bang, shaking the ground.

He didn't dare to lift his head, and stared blankly at the long halberd on the ground.Guessing that the old man Huang's expression must be blue and yellow, which is very unattractive, Zhang Deng beat his heart desperately.

"Little brother, what's your name?" Huang Yunfei's voice was unexpectedly calm, and he walked over.

"Zhang Deng." The culprit replied honestly.

"You are Zhang Deng? I remember, you are working for Zhou You, right? Stretch out your hand and let me have a look."

Zhang Deng obediently passed his hand over.

Huang Yunfei lowered his head, squinted his eyes for a while, and suddenly let out a little exclamation: "It's you."

What?what you?

Huang Yunfei didn't say who this "you" was or what it meant. Instead, he patted Zhang Deng's hand cheerfully: "Thousands of search, I didn't expect to be by my side. Brother Zhang, we are really destined. This long halberd It is also destined for you, so don't be afraid. If you are interested, I can sell it to you at the original price."

How could Zhang Deng have such spare money, he waved his hand vigorously, bent down and picked up the halberd: "No, no, I didn't mean that..." As he said this, he heard a "click" in his hand, and the halberd broke.

Not to mention breaking, the two parts that fell to the ground again were all shattered and turned into small pieces of iron.The piece in Zhang Deng's hand was also crushed into crumbs under his panic.

It's over, it's a disaster.Zhang Deng felt that he was about to suffocate and wanted to pass out.But because of his face, he couldn't fall to the ground, so he had to imagine in his heart that he was going to faint.

After waiting for a while, Huang Yunfei didn't scold him angrily, but looked at him for a while and sighed.

"It seems that it's here. Brother Zhang, you and Ayou go upstairs to rest, get a good sleep, and take you to have morning tea in the morning." Huang Yunfei squatted down and picked the debris on the ground.Seeing that he had no intention of blaming himself, Zhang Deng immediately rubbed the soles of his feet with oil, muttered in embarrassment, and returned to the living room to help the drowsy Zhou You upstairs.

※※※

Huang Yunfei is really rich and pretends to be poor, and each guest room has a small bathroom.

After taking a shower in his room, Zhang Deng plugged his dead phone into the charger.While standing on the balcony watching the night view, he smoked a cigarette by the way.

The never-grey Hong Kong is flashing in front of his eyes, just like his waterfront, with a layer of faded light particles floating on the upper layer, covering the city like dust.

The nights in Hong Kong are noisier than those of the Binhai, with an old-fashioned spooky and slippery atmosphere.Everywhere you go, you can see the ubiquitous hang tags and neon lights. The air is full of human flavor from top to bottom, fermenting in the old room and welcoming the new.

It was stuffy, like the inside of a can with only one sardine left.

After Zhang Deng finished smoking this cigarette, he felt a thin layer of sweat appear on his forehead again.He wiped his forehead, went into the room, picked up the cold water jug ​​on the table, and poured out a glass of water.

A whole glass of water seemed to be brought by Huang Yunfei when he was taking a bath.He didn't want to ask any more questions, so he turned on the air conditioner and drank it in one gulp.For some reason, there was a faint smell of rust in the water. Zhang Deng frowned, and went to the balcony to light a cigarette.

Gradually he began to believe in strange things.

Not only because he saw it with his own eyes, but also because a certain corner of his heart also began to feel familiar.That halberd made him feel like he had seen it before, though he didn't know where.He had a sense of déjà vu before, but this time it was particularly strong, as if something was about to pop out of his mind.

what is it then?He felt faintly afraid.

The dirt and blood stains on the halberd, the bloody wind under the knife, the joys and sorrows thousands of years ago, do they still have anything to do with him?

Zhang Deng stubbed out his half-smoked cigarette, returned to his room, took a tranquilizer, put on earplugs and closed the door to sleep.

※※※

That night, he dreamed again after a long absence.

In the dream, I seemed to be an ancient guerrilla, always fighting a rebellious magistrate.

He ascended the throne under the name of the new emperor, and he also captured the magistrate.

He escorted the man to the capital, let him bow down at the feet of the emperor, held the halberd in his arms, and waited triumphantly for the reward.

Everyone in the dream spoke bird language, only the emperor occasionally spoke a few words of human language.The palace was not as gorgeous as he had imagined, and there were candle lights everywhere in the house.

Finally, with a wave of the emperor's dragon robe, he ordered the magistrate to be detained.Zhang Deng watched him pass by with trembling feet, but the magistrate raised his head to look at him.

It turned out to be Liu Bai's face.His almond eyes were as clear as before, his slender eyebrows were still slightly frowned, and he looked into Zhang Deng's eyes.

At this moment, Zhang Deng suddenly felt a lot of remorse and apology, and wanted to step forward and hold him back to prevent him from leaving.But he couldn't move, his hands were frozen.

"Mr. Zhang, life is worse than death."

Liu Bai's voice seemed to come through the glass, extremely blurred, with a real sense of distortion.

After saying this, he went out without looking back.

Zhang Deng wanted to chase out the door, but he threw his foot into a piece of red soil.Looking up, there are green hills everywhere, as if on top of a certain hill.

Liu Bai was standing at the foot of the opposite mountain, in a desolate grass field, walking further and further away in ancient clothes.Zhang Deng knew that he couldn't catch up with him, so he opened his voice and called him desperately.

He was so afraid that the other party would walk away, as if he would never see him again after walking away, as if he would disappear in his memory, so he shouted desperately until his throat smelled sweet, and he kept shouting .

The official hat on Liu Bai's head paused, he seemed to have heard his own voice, and turned his head back in vain.He couldn't see anything, so he turned his head and walked forward.

Zhang Deng had no choice but to start running, running down the mountain.

He didn't know why he wanted to run away, but he just felt that if he didn't run away, he would never see the other party in this life.He felt that the mountain road was long, and the old trees around were intertwined, and a huge tunnel was born. He ran into it, toward the light.

Maybe I will never see each other again in this life, maybe I will never see each other again.

It seems that there was something with him before, so many regrets and joys, that made him unwilling to let go easily.

There was a gust of wind in the tunnel, and then the dead leaves on the ground floated up.

Blowing and blowing, a huge banana leaf was photographed on Zhang Deng's face.

"Snapped!"

Zhou You's slap landed on Zhang Deng's face.

"Get up! I won't be able to have morning tea anymore!"

Zhou You pulled out the plugs in Zhang Deng's ears, pulled his earlobes and shouted.Zhang Deng, who was lying on the bed, was greatly shocked. He was lying on the bed in the shape of a big character with an expression of "I was humiliated just now".

"Still lying down? Hurry up and wash up!" Zhou You's hands were still wrapped in bandages, but she was not as sluggish as last night at all, as if the wound was just a small bite to her.

Oh, and indeed it was just a small bite.

Zhang Deng quickly got up and changed his clothes, brushed his teeth, washed his face and shaved his beard randomly, and went downstairs when he was ready.

Huang Yunfei was wearing a short-sleeved Tang suit for running around in the rivers and lakes, revealing two arms that were shriveled than Zhou You.Zhou You was wearing her favorite Hanfu skirt, with a Taoist bun on her head, and a row of neat hair scattered on her shoulders.

Zhang Deng stroked the bloated hair on his forehead, and followed the two into the taxi he called.

Huang Yunfei's home is in Yau Tsim Mong District. He told the driver in front of him the place name in Cantonese.

It was only before seven o'clock. Zhang Deng looked at his watch and couldn't help but roll his eyes towards the sky.Zhou You and the master in the front seat had a good chat, one in Mandarin and the other in Cantonese. He couldn't intervene at all, so he could only sit and enjoy the street view.

The master and apprentice were almost carved out of the same mold, their defiant personalities were like one another, chattering all the way, and finally arrived at the destination.

Lianxianglou is one of the old morning tea shops in Hong Kong. The market is full of people, old people, young people, children and middle-aged people.

Huang Yunfei seemed to have arrived at his home stadium, squeezed into the crowd like old fritters, greeted three or two aunts and uncles, quickly found a seat and sat down, and ordered a pot of tea.

Zhou You was kind and kind, and sat beside him holding Zhang Deng.This is a big table, and there are three or two foreign young people sitting across from them. They are checking Chinese with their order cards and mobile phones. They probably don’t understand the menu.

"The waiters here are all aunts and uncles. They don't know how to deal with first-time diners. You can choose what you want. After a while, you can grab it when the dining car comes out." Huang Yunfei poured tea for both of them, and took it by himself. Pointing at the order card, Diao Erlang circled around, as if correcting homework.

Zhang Deng glanced at it a few times, and chose Mala Cake and Shrimp Dumplings. After thinking about it, he chose BBQ Pork Buns, Fresh Shrimp Rice Rolls, and Beef Balls.

Huang Yunfei looked at it, and crossed out the barbecued pork buns on Zhou You's order card.After waiting for a while, Zhang Deng realized why he did this - the pork buns in Lianxianglou are all very big, and if you take too much, it is easy to be unable to eat other things.

The prawns are quite fresh, a little bit tasteless.The beef balls with tangerine peel tasted quite good, and he sent the balls to Zhou You for her to taste like a treasure.

Zhou You saw that he was so active, so he handed him a lotus seed paste bag, and he got a cup of iced milk tea from somewhere, which was very enjoyable.

After the two had eaten for a round, Huang Yunfei picked up a toothpick to pick his teeth, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm full after eating, I think you both have questions and want to ask me."
